Being Fair

How many of us think that we have been treated unfairly at sometime or the other ? Do we also think if we have been fair in the process of judging or understanding the situation or issue ?

Unfortunately, there are many of us in the world. This has become a culture in fact. Looking at it deeper, I believe this came about because of the rampant mistrust among people. We live in a time where all kinds of people are on the loose in society. This I believe has spawned a shield around people that automatically goes off in the presence of individuals we dont know well. This in turn has created more misunderstandings and stirred fear in our hearts.

Now I wonder if the world will ever be healed of this fear and distrust that makes us judge others unfairly. It takes a lot of effort from us but it surely must be done if we want our society to thrive in peace and care which in turn can foster love. What I realized from my experience is that I have to heal myself too before I could confidently say not to be unfair to others. We have in us the spring that can overflow for others. The moment we take the first step to healing, we can take the next step to healing others.

if we start perceiving that things are equitable and then anticipate justice prevailing, all will be well ....check out Stephen Covey's 7 Habits if you have not read it and reread it ..... and one of the points there ... Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood ... you will develop a fairness habit ....

take care and live well ....

He also talks about social entreprenuership as well. Some key individuals like Emmanuel Justus in the HR community have also been taking responsibility and questioning the task of preparedness of our workforce, do we as human resource professionals prepare individuals for failure...

Letting Go Of Your Stars

I was ruminating about some discussions I have been having with some friends of mine around what are the chances of companies holding onto their star employees till they retire ? If the question was pondered on in the 70's or the 80's or the early 90's I would have said the chances are near 100 % but nowadays I would say that it is a lost endeavor ... The funny aspect of this is that I still find companies trying their hardest to keep their star employees when all they need to do is realize that they cannot hold onto their stars forever. Let me explain ...the real goal for leaders and organizations should be to have great people working with you, even after they have stopped working with you .... confused ... let me explain further ... Some of the best companies in the world actually celebrate their star employees leaving ... why ? because they are clear that they attract the best and the brightest to come and work for them and these people are hard to hold onto ..the com...
