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 ....

Is Being Creative a Problem ? ....The watchout

There is a great possibility that ideas could be destroying your organization. Puzzled? Join the gang as I was too until I read the article creativity in not enough. Ideas for the sake of ideas without rigorous implementation models and follow up lead to organizational chaos.  Typically successful ideation models have proven to be successful when the organization insider, the apparent conformist has driven an idea through evaluation, implementation and follow up.  This Harvard Business Review article is a thought provoking article on this topic ... Here is the synopis of the article ....

Commitment

What does commitment mean ? It is a word which has been much abused by individuals ... recently the issue around David Letterman - the talk show host of CBS has been the latest to abuse the word commitment .... commitment means devoting yourself to someone or something and honoring that choice ( however tough the obstacles maybe). Examples include committing yourself to a relationship with somebody , committing yourself to a cause etc ... I think it is really conviction which drives commitment. When we commit to something and when we are convinced about what we are committing to, then problems around not meeting the commitment etc do not arise ... I once met a friend who has been incredibly successful although he was not the smartest nor the best at what he did ... the one reason he shared that he was successful was that he never reneged on his commitment to others ... whatever he committed to, he delivered ... that is a BIG deal and it is one sure fire way to be successful ....
