My way in life

Have you ever wonder why talented people leave an organization? I believed these might be some of the reasons:

1. Immediate Supervisors/Manager who have gone up the corporate ladder with no leadership skills training. They have big egos and few or non-existent leadership skills. They bully their staff, blame others and find convenient scapegoats for their mistakes and feel threatened by staff who appear clever or more skilled than them. Such bosses are commonly found in the corporate world; most of them stay where they are, torturing their staff, because they have a “godfather” in senior management position. In turn, senior management finds it increasingly difficult to acknowledge the fact that its choice of “manager” is suspect.
2. The “nature of the job”. Clever executives want challenges that drive them towards excellence. One little flaw in their character is that they get bored easily. That is why bosses need to consider how they can get the best from their staff. When you expect your staff to do the same job year in and year out, with no “escape clause”, they will leave – no matter what you pay. Remember, the market will bear the cost of excellence.
3. Lack of “succession planning”. If an organisation does not have one in place, the message you give your staff is: “we do not have a career path for you.” This is tough on young, energetic people who have personal goals, including going up the corporate ladder. So if the boss has no plans for the employees, they will find a company that has one.
4. The work environment. If bosses do not generate a good corporate culture, the staff will lose their motivation. A career will become “just a job”. What drives people away? A department in which the staff is not nurtured, a company where bosses are indifferent to the needs of the staff, or a place where no one practises basic courtesies.
5. Standards and procedures in an office. If there is favouritism and the boss’ decisions smack of discrimination, if people abuse the system and no one cares, then good people leave.
6. Lack of learning opportunities. Many companies feel that training is a waste of money, not realising that it is one way to show your staff that you care about their development, both personal and professional. I knew of one boss who refused to do soft-skills training because it would not “benefit” the company and only develop the person.

How to do the Chicken Dance!

1. Hold your hands in a “bye-bye” position, and pretend they are your beaks. “Chirp” your fingers four times (4 counts).

2. With your arms in “wing position” (hands tucked in armpits), flap your wings 4 times (4 counts).

3. Now “wiggle your tail feathers” down to the floor 4 times (4 counts).

4. Clap your hands 4 times (4 counts).

5. Repeat all of the movements above three more times, to complete the chorus.
