Open Mind

Story of Self Confidence

Simple Steps – for Smart Working

• Get clear on the objective. • Create a vision. • Go for high impact items. • Learn from others. • Ask for help. • Review regularly.• If it works, stick to it.

Think out of the Box

Task = Cross the River

• Employee A = Good Job• Employee B = Very Good Job + Team Player – C• Employee D = Excellent Job - guide &training manual• Employee E = Outstanding job. I am very proud of

you." (No Task to be assigned)

Winning Attitude

• Do not “expect the worst and hope for the best” – Always affirm “I expect the best and get it”

• Always look to create a win-win situation with others – Project yourself as a winner who creates other winners too

• Project a positive self-image of you being an enthusiastic person

DEVELOP A HAPPY STATE OF MIND

ACCEPT 100% RESPONSIBILITY• Always remember “you are the person

responsible for how you feel” (it is not the

circumstances or conditions that is the problem)• Don’t look to blame someone or something

for whatever has happened or happening (blame looks backward while responsibility looks forward)

• When negative emotion rises up discard it by saying “I am responsible for the way I feel”

Gather the Courage to do what it takes

• The best way to build courage is to encourage your self with “You can do it”

• Do not listen to people who discourage you (courage is doing what you are afraid to do and there can be no courage unless you are scared)

• The willingness to do creates the courage to do – so “Just do it”

Over Come Frustration

• Begin everything with enthusiasm – Stop before it becomes frustration – Return to it with renewed enthusiasm

• Become involved in a new goal• Concentration on one thought at a time, one

action at a time, one goal at a time

Right Approach

• Do it Now – Initiate / Immediate Action• Prioritize• Understand how much time it takes to do a task• Not all tasks take time• Understand what and why of your procrastination tendency• Do not be a last minute decision taker• Gather information of a task in advance• “If we wait for the moment when everything and absolutely

everything is ready, we shall never begin” • Be proactive and not reactive

- Being proactive is highly motivating

Update your Skills

Story of Wood Cutter

• Moral of the story is

Most of us NEVER update our skills. We think that whatever we have learned is very much enough. But good is not good when better is expected.

Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

Tips• Get up 15 minutes early• Make time for ‘YOURSELF’• Understand your ‘effective time zone’• Deal effectively with interruptions• Update your TO DO list daily• Do not over schedule• Keep Your list in sight• Delegate, if possible• Get Organized: Paper, e-mail• Do difficult tasks first

• Throw away every information that you think you do not need• Think twice before you interrupt anyone, Their time is as valuable as yours• Take an interest in what others are trying to achieve• Hearing is not the same a listening. Learn to listen• Don’t adapt any time wasting practices• Aware of latest technology
