Over 16,548,122 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
All of life's journeys begin with the phrase, "I want." Think about your career and the times when you said "I want." Maybe you said "I want" go to college-and then enrolled in school and completed your degree. Maybe you said "I want" to work for a large or a small company-and you are working there now. Maybe you said "I want" to lead teams-and that's one of your current responsibilities. "I want" is a very powerful phrase. Without it, it's hard to go very far. Imagine going on a trip without selecting a destination beforehand. What would you pack? How would you get there? Where would you stay? Your trip probably would not end up being much fun. It's the same with your career. Not being able to visualize your desired result leads to results not happening. Goals are reached when you decide what you want, and then take action to get it. Without an end in mind, you will wander aimlessly; and as long as you are aimless, you will be wasting time. You will feel lost. You will be like a stray leaf, going wherever the wind takes you. What's a Vision? My definition of a vision is a visualization or a picture of where you see yourself in the future. Your picture can be one of where you want to be in a day, a week, a month, a year, or even farther into the future. The visualization of your goal is what compels you to move forward. A vision is a snapshot of what you want your career and life to look like in the future. This snapshot gives your journey a clear and reachable destination and provides focus. All goals are reached in the mind first. You see yourself both achieving that goal and experiencing the satisfaction it will bring you once you are there. This picture is what will help you to persevere during times of doubt. Your picture of success will give you purpose, power, and excitement. Your picture will give you a reason to get out of bed every day. How do you create a Vision? Close your eyes. Let your imagination take over. Get in touch with what you really want and what is important to you. Ask yourself meaningful questions. Let the answers come to you. What Questions will help get you to a Vision quickly? Here are some questions you can ask yourself: If it was possible, what would be different in my career? What type of job would I have? What would I be responsible for? What type of boss/co-workers/team would I have? What kind of hours would I work? What type of company would I work for? What sort of culture would the company have? What city would I live in? How much money would I make? How would I handle stress, my workload, and deadlines? Once you have thought about these questions, it is time to get your answers down on paper. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. The answers are what is true for you-not what someone else wants for you, but what is truly in your heart. Listen to yourself, and your answers will be the perfect ones for you. Once you have your vision, then it's time to make it real. So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!
You may have heard this statement many a times but have you thought that it really is a major reason of people leaving organization after growth prospects and monetary reasons.
I remember a Boss who kept me interested and focused, company can create systems, but it’s the bosses that helps people fit and function within the various processes. A mismatch of the values ultimately sends people towards the door. The boss should have solid values that are in alignment with that of the organizations.
Why do people leave their bosses is a must asked question, are they not happy with them, if not, then what are the symptoms of these scary bosses, let us find out here through this article:
When the boss Under-communicates. It sounds crazy because so many leaders are always talking, but I’m referring to formal communication from the upper levels of the organization to the lower. Leaders need to ensure that employees throughout the organization know what is going on.
Sometimes, that’s not easy. I know of a top-level executive team that spends an extraordinary amount of time meeting and strategizing about direction for the organization, but they neglect to inform the lower levels of management about new developments and initiatives. They’re always surprised at how uninformed everyone below them is (“Why can’t people get with the program?” Because you never told them!:( ).
Neglects Human Resource Issues. Too often, top-level leaders leave human resource issues to the HR department. But employee morale, evaluation of performance, identification of high potentials, should be leadership issues. Effective leaders are in touch with what their followers think, know, and do. Leadership and HR should be inextricably interlinked.
One important point (and it is the most frequent complaint I hear from employees), is the treatment and use of “human resources.” Leaders must treat employees humanely. Bullying, punishing and even neglect is the expressway to leadership failure.
Lacks Vision (or Shared Purpose). Leaders need to have a clear vision of where an organization is headed, and create a sense of shared purpose among all organizational members. Importantly, leaders need to constantly communicate the vision and shared purpose to everyone.
Fails to create culture of mutual respect. A core value of every organization should be one of mutual respect and civility. Of course, this is easier said than done, but a starting point is to simply promote this value. Company leaders play a critical part in creating an atmosphere of respect and stopping instances of employee-to-employee and even the higher levels
Lacks Transparency. From the employees’ perspective, bad bosses are inconsistent, unpredictable, and perceived as having “double standards.” Effective leaders are transparent. They don’t play games. They are straight and fair in their dealings with others, and they certainly wouldn’t ask employees to do something they wouldn’t do themselves.
Unwillingness to Change and Innovate. They don’t change and they don’t let their team members to initiate new and creative ideas. Far too many leaders and organizations have failed and disappeared because of an inability to adapt and innovate. “It’s my way or the highway” is the road to failure.
In order to be creative and adaptive, leaders need to ask the hard questions: “What are we doing wrong?” “How can we get better?” Leaders need to be open to different viewpoints and criticism from their followers. Continuous and critical self-evaluation is necessary for leaders and organizations to grow and innovate.
Bosses should be the captains of organizational team. They should be great motivators, innovators, and leaders, who inspire the team members they supervise to achieve great things. These managers understand how to treat employees fairly and with respect, and more importantly understand why it is important to do so. Managers who do this in turn breed new leaders for the organization who will follow the example set forth by their predecessors
