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 ....

# value # inspiration # newyear Just a bit of trivia, December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March and we have entered a month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the new year.  This particular Roman god Janus had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. As we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, I hope we can all try to be a little like Janus. We know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and hope to do better this year.  Many of us make ambitious new year resolutions while people like me just take a deep breath and hope for the best.…Here's wishing you and your family a happy new year 2020

Leadership By Doing - Setting An Example

Do do you lead by example? There was a colleague of mine who used to tell everyone on his team to stay late, and then leave promptly at 5:30 p.m. There is also the typical manager who criticizes everyone for spending time on the Internet, but is discovered shopping online during working hours. We also may have come across finance teams who advise austerity but then splurge on something else Do you know any of these people? One of the worst aspects for sagging company morale are leaders who practice the "I dont walk the talk" approach. When this happens, you can almost see the loss of enthusiasm and goodwill among the teams and being replaced by cynicism No matter what the situation is, double standards - witnessing people say one thing, and then doing another - always are big let downs. If this ever happened to you, you can probably remember that sense of disappointment and letdown. If you're in a leadership position, then you know that you have a responsibility to your t...
