Weekly Motivational Remedies

1. Learn to be more the parent and less the child. Realize that you gain ground when you become a greater source of compliments to others than a receiver of kind words from our bosses.
2. The Best Recognition is Applied -- Expansive Responsibilities. The best recognition you can receive comes when the organization has enough confidence in your abilities to expand your responsibilities and compensates you fairly for what you accomplish.
3. Don't go off half-cocked --Gather information when dealing with a problem. Gather all the facts: who, what, when, where, why? Define the locale, type and extent of the problem as quickly as possible. Assess the damage. And double-check your information.
4. It's better to be a suck-up than a "I-don't-carer". If you're the boss, you'd promote a person sucking up 50,000 times faster than a person who is chapfallen or dejected.
5. Rebels rarely survive for the long haul. From Jesus (crucified) to William Wallace (drawn and quartered) rebels don't stick around for too long. Learn the ropes, the folklore, how the business works outside of the "manuals" and see who reports to whom. You can only change it when your in it and are coognizant of the businesses modus operandi.
