: From the time I was a little child, I had what you would call a religious up bringing. At a very early age we were taught the 10 commandments. Actually the 10 commandments have played such a great part in my life I cannot remember when I learned them. Though I do remember having to learn them by heart for Sunday school, however that was more about trying to memorize what order the 10 commandments came in rather than learning what they were all about.Since the 10 commandments have been a part of my life as a young child, I have not spent much time reflecting on them. Just like the other aspects of my life, I have accepted the 10 commandments as a fact of life. I have spent more time thinking about them in recent times due to the media attention of having the 10 commandments displayed in public buildings. This made me stop and review closely what the 10 commandments are and as to why someone may be offended seeing them in print. I had to stop and reflect if I had just acknowledged something that may be offensive just because it has always been part of my life.I have to confess that trying to remember the 10 commandments in sequence was a true memory exercise. Though I could remember all of them, trying to get the middle ones in the right order was a challenge. One day I had mentioned this to my husband and he couldn’t comprehend why being in a particular order would make any difference. He had a good point there, that it didn’t matter what order I placed them in or what precise wording I used to remember them, but the idea behind each of the 10 commandments that was the message we have to take to heart.After pondering over each of the 10 commandments I m certain that for me they are not offensive. By displaying or seeing them in print, I would not feel discriminated against or violated in any way. The message behind each one of the 10 commandments is clear and on the whole I feel they out line an honest and courteous way to conduct my life. At the same time I do respect others beliefs and accept that not everyone has the same set of beliefs that I have. I think life would be boring if we did all think the same and had the same beliefs. I realize that we are not all from the same belief system, but I still cannot comprehend why someone would be hurt by seeing the 10 commandments in print. On the other hand there are several billboards and bus advertisements that I find offensive, but for sure I know there are others that disagree with me. At times if I find something offensive I try to look at something that is more appealing to me.Surely we do not all need to believe the same things in order to exist together, we do not even need to understand each others beliefs, we just need to learn tolerance. Hey, guess what… maybe I just came up with the 11th commandment! : 10 Common Lies Told by Women : : http://www.read2dream.org/forum/topic.php?id=303992&replies=1#post-315561 : http://www.ai99.in/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=492689 : http://nutritionforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=184221 : http://southbike.net/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=828191 : http://www.pal6.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=582914 : : Today�s fast-moving business environment demands that the effective manager be both a well-organized administrator and highly adept in understanding people�s basic needs and behaviour in the workplace. Gaining commitment, nurturing talent, and ensuring employee motivation and productivity require open communication and trust between managers and staff.1. Understand their behaviourPeople at work naturally tend to adopt instinctive modes of behaviour that are self-protective rather than open and collaborative. This explains why emotion is a strong force in the workplace and why management often reacts violently to criticisms and usually seeks to control rather than take risks. So, in order to eliminate this kind of perspective and to increase employee motivation, it is best that you influence behaviour rather than to change personalities. Insisting what you expect from your employees will only worsen the situation. 2. Be sure that people�s lower-level needs are met.People have various kinds of needs. Examples of lower-level needs are salary, job security, and working conditions. In order to increase employee motivation, you have to meet these basic needs. Consequently, failures with basic needs nearly always explain dissatisfaction among staff. Satisfaction, on the other hand, springs from meeting higher-level needs, such as responsibility progress, and personal growth. When satisfaction is met, chances are employee motivation is at hand.3. Encourage pridePeople need to feel that their contribution is valued and unique. If you are a manager, seek to exploit this pride in others, and be proud of your own ability to handle staff with positive results. This, in turn, will encourage employee motivation among your people.4. Listen carefullyIn many areas of a manager�s job, from meetings and appraisals to telephone calls, listening plays a key role. Listening encourages employee motivation and, therefore, benefits both you and your staff. So make an effort to understand people�s attitudes by careful listening and questioning and by giving them the opportunity to express themselves.5. Build confidenceMost people suffer from insecurity at some time. The many kinds of anxiety that affect people in organizations can feed such insecurity, and insecurity impedes employee motivation. Your antidote, therefore, is to build confidence by giving recognition, high-level tasks, and full information. In doing so, you only not refurbish employee motivation but boost productivity as well.6. Encourage contactMany managers like to hide away behind closed office doors, keeping contact to a minimum. That makes it easy for an administrator, but hard to be a leader. It is far better to keep your office door open and to encourage people to visit you when the door is open. Go out of your way to chat to staff on an informal basis. Keep in mind that building rapport with your staff will effectively increase employee motivation.7. Use the strategic thinking of all employees.It is very important to inform people about strategic plans and their own part in achieving the strategies. Take trouble to improve their understanding and to win their approval, as this will have a highly positive influence on performance and increasing employee motivation as well.8. Develop trustThe quality and style of leadership are major factors in gaining employee motivation and trust. Clear decision making should be coupled with a collaborative, collegiate approach. This entails taking people into your confidence and explicitly and openly valuing their contributions. By simply giving your staff the opportunity to show that you can trust them is enough to increase employee motivation among them.9. Delegate decisionsPushing the power of decision-making downward reduces pressure on senior management. It motivates people on the lower levels because it gives them a vote of confidence. Also, because the decision is taken nearer to the point of action, it is more likely to be correct. Consequently, by encouraging them to choose their own working methods, make decisions, and giving them responsibility for meeting the agreed goal will encourage employee motivation among your staff.10. Appraising to motivateWhen choosing methods of assessing your staff�s performance, always make sure that the end result has a positive effect on employee motivation and increases people�s sense of self-worth. Realistic targets, positive feedback, and listening are key factors.If you follow these simple steps in increasing employee motivation, rest assured you will have a good working relationship with your staff at the same time boost you company�s productivity. Just bear in mind that people are employed to get good results for the company. Their rates of success are intrinsically linked to how they are directed, reviewed, rewarded, trusted, and motivated by the management. : 08 Craft Ideas For Old Christmas Cards : : http://partnertreffpunkt.ch/events_view.php?eid=1434541 : http://v1v2.bingbb.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2025090 : http://bbs.787g.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=458689 : https://post.craigslist.org/k/FvqmzKBR4hGfmv0oTv4I6g/bgs6Q?s=preview : http://fzblk.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2465372&extra=
