In the evening, winding up the tape measure, the caretaker said that Dugaev would receive the next ...

Even the very last slob heard about the principles of organization - a clean, properly designed workplace, where everything is at hand, a system for storing information, records, schedules, etc. Moreover, he probably saw examples proving their performance. But he lacks the discipline to follow them himself. This is how the popular excuse is born, they say, being organized is boring, an organized person becomes a slave to his habits and time.
Is it so? Not at all. Being organized is a certain habits. And we all have habits. Only some have this habit of scattering everything, while others - to keep it in order. The first is not necessarily bad, but only as long as it does not harm life, killing productivity and.
The habits of organized people
Develop the following habits to become an organized person.
Write everything down
Often, when a person has not forgotten something, it is not because of a good memory, but because he wrote down the most important things. Trying to remember everything will not help you to become organized, it is rather a sign of laziness.
Write everything down: a list of items to buy, movies to watch, books to read. You can use a paper diary, phone, or computer.
Create schedules and set deadlines
Create schedules, tables and graphs. Set deadlines and goals. Without these simple techniques, it is very difficult to control what is happening in your life.
Remember that if there is even the slightest reason not to do anything, you will immediately grab onto it. Therefore, a well-drawn up plan is a kind of way not to let yourself get away from work, because here it is, defined and understandable.
Get rid of procrastination
Procrastination is one of the main ills of modern man. Even without straining too much, you can provide yourself with food and have a roof over your head. So you can put off important things and do something pleasant, right? No, because in this way you make a choice in favor of momentary pleasure, missing the opportunity to do something meaningful.
The longer you put off work, the harder it will be to get started. Therefore, you need to introduce the habit of doing important things immediately after waking up.
Clean your house regularly
Cleaning is not only a useful act, but also a symbolic one. In this way you show yourself that you are putting things in order in your life and do not accept chaos.
Clean your apartment at least once a week. This will allow you to find the right tools in a matter of seconds and not delay important tasks.
Buy everything you need for work and study
As we said, a person likes to make excuses for himself in order not to work. Organization is out of the question. If you don't have a notebook, pen, paper clips and other stationery, you risk missing out on that momentary inspiration when you are drawn to work. And when it doesn't pull, but it is necessary, it is much easier to start when everything you need is at hand.
Eliminate distractions
If something can distract you, it will definitely distract you. Don't use willpower. In the reading room of the library, it is difficult to do something else, because no one tugs at you, the TV or radio is not shouting behind the wall, and the neighbors from above do not sing Macarena in the shower. The fewer irritants, the easier it is to focus on what is important.
Work hard
It takes a lot of work to get organized. This is necessary to understand where you need to put more and where less effort.
You can read David Allen's book Getting Things Done, but there is little to learn from it. After all, he talks about people who work hard and need to be productive. And if you are a fan of making a minimum of effort, his advice will hardly help you.
Assume that you need to work more than eight hours a day. And only when you start to notice that you can do it smarter, start using productivity tips.
How to get focused and organized
Use the 3D method
This technique stands for Delete, Delegate, Do (delete, entrust, act). As you can see, "act" is in last place. If you want to learn how to work intelligently and stay organized, first remove everything unnecessary or delegate some tasks to other people (we will talk about this separately below).
Delete all cases:
- which are urgent but not very important;
- which give a fake sense of progress;
- cause a lot of stress and do not make any sense.
This is especially important when working with email, as it is at its core a to-do list of other people. These are the requests they send you. They take energy and time.
Of course, in some cases, both you and the person who wrote the letter benefit from the response. But only if your goals are in harmony. In all other cases, it is a distraction.
Delegate your affairs
If you have an assistant or team of employees, assign them things they can do. The difficulty is that you can consider yourself a great expert and everyone else is an amateur. Even so, there are often times when it’s better to let others do the work of others than to spend a disproportionate amount of time yourself to get it done perfectly.
If there are no such people, find them. Let's say you're a freelancer who works hard and makes enough money. I would like not only to relax, but also to engage in self-development, for example, to learn. What to do? Find another freelancer who can do some of your work.
If you can free up 50% of the time, reducing your income by 10-15% - great! So you are already starting to follow the precepts of Kiyosaki.
Once you start thinking this way, you might want to go ahead and start working, as Tim Ferriss wrote. Why not? Even if such an ideal result cannot be achieved, you still need to strive for it.
Make a list of the three most important things to do
Make a list of the three most important things to do in a day. This will help maintain the utmost clarity and concentration. A long list, on the other hand, is tiring and makes you feel overwhelmed and lost. It's not clear where to start, especially if you have a big project on your nose. This leads to procrastination.
Only three tasks, no more. Each of them should take 1 to 2 hours. Commit to doing them the next day, no matter what happens. No excuses. In addition, you can schedule three tasks a week, especially if they are large enough.
It's worth mentioning, though, that some time management gurus disagree with this method. They believe that such lists lead to even more disorganization, because in addition to the three tasks, there are still many small tasks that need to be completed. In any case, we advise you to try this technique and identify its pros and cons.
Other experts advise creating two lists. The first will have the three most important tasks to complete first. The second is what you have to do next. Consider this option as well.
Find out about all your flaws and weaknesses
Each of us has disadvantages and limitations. Anyone who ignores this obvious fact will face the same problems every day. Therefore, do not overestimate your capabilities.
Want to learn English and go to the gym three times a week? No problem, just get a piece of paper out and do some simple calculations first. Suppose you work 8 hours a day in the office, 2 hours are spent on the road. We still need to pack up in the morning and have dinner in the evening, this is another 1 hour. You need to sleep, that's another 7 hours. How much did it turn out per day? Don't be fooled, numbers don't lie. Find another way to develop your skills. You have to sacrifice something.
Regardless of how organized you are, part of the day is likely to be useless: meetings, traffic jams, pointless conversations. And you also need to rest and put yourself in order. Accept the limitation: you can't find it all the time. But you can find it on the most important... Therefore, the list of three tasks, which we wrote about above, is so important.
Create a "Maybe someday" list
Throughout the day, a person can keep in his head ideas and deeds that, right now, his hands will definitely not reach. They may or may not be very valuable, but right now you shouldn't torture yourself by revealing it. And in order not to forget about them - just write them down in a separate list. This will stop them bothering and distracting you.
Use a time boxing technique
Is one of the best ways to organize yourself. Its essence is that you reserve certain hours of the day for your valuable affairs and goals.
Let's give an example. You devote the first hour after waking up to reading. This is out of the question because self-development is incredibly important to you. Then you work for 5-6 hours. Go to the gym or go for a run.
The point is to set aside a few hours for specific things, but not to set an exact time, but rather to book it.
Time boxing has been used by some writers. They set aside, say, 4 hours for their work and sat down at the table. They had a choice - to sit around or start writing. Few people feel comfortable during boredom, so the person immediately took up the task.
For example, you need to write an article. You booked 2 hours for this. Just sit down at the table and open the document in Word. Not sure where to start? Then write what exactly will be in the article. Come up with a heading or create a paragraph that definitely needs to be there. Ideas will appear immediately, you just need to overcome inertia.
Sharpen the saw
Advice may seem unnecessary specifically for organization, but this is only at first glance. Sharpening the saw is one of the tenets of Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The point is to regularly update your knowledge and learn new skills. That is, invest in yourself at the level:
- physical: exercise, avoid stress, and get enough sleep;
- emotional: communicate with positive people, love, be grateful, believe in yourself;
- mental: read books, try new things, play brain games, go to museums, be creative, meditate, brainstorm.
- spiritually: keep looking for the purpose of life, be a good and worthy person, help others, donate money.
Stick to minimalism
After all, the fewer things around you, the easier it is to be productive. Previously, there were no smartphones with a bunch of applications, the TV showed a couple of channels, no one ever heard about the Internet.
Need to determine the best time to conceive, prevent unwanted pregnancies, or find out when sex with your partner will be the best? Previously, women had to go to their doctor for a consultation, but now they have a new best friend - a smartphone.
In recent years, there have been many apps for women that make it easy to track your fertile days and when you ovulate, and take personal notes. In addition, they have many other functions. One such application is Glow, which is already used by 47 million women. Glow lets you track things like women's moods and the quality and frequency of sex. Thanks to this application, it became possible to get these interesting facts about the intimate life of women from all over the world.
Best countries for women
1. Do you miss intimacy? Go to Canada. It turns out that Canadians have sex 45% more often than average app users.
2. But be careful: Canada is a great place to get pregnant. Canadian women can get pregnant 21% easier than others.
3. Australian women also have sex frequently - 37% more than the average app users.
4. Needless to say, women in Australia also have a good chance of getting pregnant? They have them 14% higher than other users.
5. The USA is a good place to be happy. American women are 16% more likely than other women to have sex.
6. Worst place to be happy? Latin America. Here, women have sex 4% less often than the average app user.
Sexual appetites
1. A woman's sexual appetite corresponds to her monthly cycle. The first day of your cycle is the first day of your period, which lasts approximately five days. Thus, women are least interested in sex from one to five days a month.
2. Many women report changes in energy or mood levels during this time, and this is usually due to a decrease in sex drive. Also, women are less interested in sex for a whole week after menstruation.
3. Most women start having sex again on the 12th day of their cycle.
4. Many women have regular sex between 12 and 14 days of their cycle. The Glow app calls these days "the peak of sexuality."
5. In fact, women feel most sexy on the 13th and 14th day of their cycle. But here's the interesting thing: they don't necessarily get the best and most satisfying sex at this time.
6. Most women enjoy sex on the last, 30th day of their cycle. This day in the Glow is marked as the "peak of orgasms."
Are the women satisfied
1. Women feel happiest on the 15th and 16th days of their cycle, as well as when they have had a lot of sex in the previous days.
2. Glow users have registered 7.6 million sexual contacts in two years.
3. This means that every minute at least seven women who use the Glow app are having sex.
4. By the way, users have also reported falling in love 2 million times. The app also tracks sex cycles and fertility of 88,000 couples.
5. Unfortunately, despite the existing sexual contacts, not all women are satisfied with them. Almost a third of women are ready to give up sex rather than a smartphone.
6. But this still means that two-thirds would rather give up phones than sex.
Hello, friends! Being disorganized is not very profitable, you know why? Yes, it would seem a stupid question, everyone knows the answer to it, yet they know how to become organized ... They know what they know, and why they do nothing? In this article, I would like to not just talk about how to become an organized personbut also give specific tips to implement in your life! Plus, I'll share with you three interesting pre-New Year contests that are currently taking place on the Internet. Cheer up and get money, what could be better?)
Once you get organized, you will be significantly more successful and cooler. you know that. Imagine how much more profitable it is to always do what you need to do, to keep up with everything, and not become a softened rag complaining about life. Sometimes it is possible, but only extremely rarely) So what is organization in my understanding?
What is disorganization?
Good organization is when all your plans are carried out regardless of external circumstances. Accordingly, disorganization is when you are like a feather in the wind, completely dependent on external circumstances.
The whole problem is that each of us periodically falls into apathy, and turns into not the most productive person. Girls, if they have any problems with the guys, start looking at Bridget Jones's diary and throughout the film eat several boxes of candy. Male representatives can download Counter Strike and start playing, or just watch a movie stupidly .. I think this happened to everyone)
But the problem is that it can become a habit, and this also happens to many. So what do you do? I will try to give simple tips that help me not to fall into such a "Psychological binge" and to be organized
Here I will give six tips on how to become an organized person:
- The first thing you need to start with is planning... You need to plan your every day so that during the day there is no strong flight of thoughts in the direction of "What to do?" Even if you are a creative person, you still need to be planned. I myself consider myself an extremely creative person, and therefore I realized the importance of the fact that without planning it is simply not possible to do everything!
- Don't lean on everything at once... When you pounce on everything at once, and then realize that you do not have time to do even half - this greatly undermines your organization, you begin to lose control. "Ah, today I won't have time for anything, I'd better rest, watch a couple of films")
- Said - did... You need to learn an important rule, said-did! If you are not responsible for your words, then you do not respect yourself.
- Isolate from seductive distractions... Isolate yourself from various distractions that will make you a disorganized squid. Examples of such information: movies, glossy magazines, TV, food on the desktop, telephone, etc. I recommend not stocking up on films for the winter, because it is often tempting to look at them. Do not place food on your desk, as hand reaches out to drag another bun by the cheek. your friend prepared a two hour nag about not getting a new handbag before the store closed. Yes, I think you yourself know all this very well)
- Take a time management training... I highly recommend that you take the time management training. there is nothing better. than to immediately apply the information received in practice. and and implement in your life! Everyone loves when they are practically led by the handle to the result, when they are told what to do, and that they do it stupidly. There is no more effective way of learning than practical implementation. There is no stronger tool for personal growth than practical training. Therefore, friends, within the framework of this topic, I will recommend you my new free training on time management, tk. after passing it you will become much more organized and much more successful!
- Never be late! Set yourself a mindset never to be late, because firstly, it annoys everyone when someone is late, and secondly, it will allow you to become more organized)
After completing it, you can make the next year the most productive and organized of your life!
I myself constantly go through trainings, and at the moment too. For the first three months of the new year, I have already planned at least 5 trainings, and all are paid! Personal growth is an integral attribute of success, and I understand this perfectly, therefore I advise you)
And by the way, in order to cheer up and earn some money at the same time, I recommend taking part in excellent contests of my friends and partners! And by the way, just the other day I myself am launching my own contest with a huge prize pool and a cool theme! Subscribe to site updates to get access to it!
A selection of great New Year's Eve contests
Roman Zolotarev Competition - "New Year's video battle!" Prize fund 16,000 rubles. By the way, I will also act as a member of the jury) The task for the competition is quite unusual - you just need to play a game! Read more in the article with a description of the competition. I would gladly take part, but the jury members are not supposed to)
Anton Kramorov Competition - "My attention!" Prize fund over 15,000 rubles. The task is to describe one interesting service
Negligent Accountant Contest - "New Year's Tale" - The prize fund is 15,000 rubles! Even I myself think to participate, tk. I liked the theme of the competition
Be organized and accept - participate in these contests or not!
I hope that after reading this article, you have at least a little answered your question "How to get organized!"
Get organized and you will succeed! Your
The monstrous pace of modern life requires maximum commitment from you, which is impossible if you do not know how to control your time, structure the week, plan days and build the correct sequence of things - from important to less important. Brilliant people knew how to spend time to get the most out of life. This skill is especially important if you are working on several projects at once, because with intensive work it is very easy to drive yourself into a dead end, or even be left with nothing at all.
What is the conclusion from this? Very clumsy, but loyal - you need to make a timetable for your life so that this very life is full, balanced and successful. To do this, you need to take into account your own psychological and physiological parameters, as well as your interest in work, which will be a lot, but it will not let you get bored.
In this sense, we have always been amazed by Leonardo da Vinci - a man who, it seems, could do anything. He was a scientist, inventor, engineer, artist, anatomist, sculptor, musician - he was everything and achieved success in everything. Leonardo died at the age of 67 in the arms of his friend, the French king Francis I, leaving behind a huge legacy that still excites the minds of modern inventors, scientists and artists. We think that it is from him that one should take an example as a person who knew how to properly allocate time.
Just as a good day brings a blissful dream
so a good life brings blissful death.
- Leonardo da Vinci -
The basic idea behind Da Vinci's Schedule is to give yourself the flexibility to cope with many things in a more creative, purposeful and, oddly enough, joyful way. Yes, we believe that work can be enjoyable when approached correctly.
A lot of people think that planning should start on the first day of the week - Monday. But this is wrong. Planning should start on Sunday night to help ease your hardest day of the week.
If you want to achieve good results, then you have to be honest with yourself, which means - carefully classify tasks according to how difficult and important they are to you. Never put off complicated things until the end of the day or the end of the week.
How to organize your day and week
So, your day should have the following structure:
Deep work
This is your main job, which involves a routine. If you are a programmer, then this is, accordingly, programming. If you are a journalist, then this is writing the main block of articles. Do the most difficult and boring things at the start of your day without being distracted by secondary tasks. Deep work, as a rule, should take up the bulk of the working hours.
Administrator work
Then comes the time of "administration" - even salespeople have it, not just businessmen. This time should be spent checking email, organizing documents, ordering supplies, scheduling appointments. All of these tasks are very important and can take longer than it seems at first. But if you systematically carry out this work, then it will be easier for you to work in general. Less stress on your main working hours - less distraction.
When you work for a modern company, meetings become an important part of your schedule. Yes, they are important, but in our experience, they are completely pointless - a waste of time that distracts from work. Therefore, for ourselves, we decided that any business meeting or meeting should be scheduled either in the early morning (before 10 am), or late in the evening (after 17:00). Thus, you will not be distracted from your main work, you will save a lot of time, and you will not have to experience emotional shocks in the middle of the working day, which often happens at various meetings.
You should exercise regularly to keep in good shape not only the body, but also the psyche. Jog, swing, go to the gym 3-4 times a week. It is best to study in the morning before work, especially if you are late at work. But if you leave the office at 17-18 pm, then you can immediately go to the gym. In terms of proper organization, it is best to train on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and once on weekends.
Communication, lectures, meetings
At least once or twice a week, you should attend some outreach activities that don't always have to be related to your immediate work. We just believe that developing ourselves, studying different worldviews, imbuing with knowledge - all this is important for life and mind.
We're talking about lectures, trainings, literary meetings. All of these activities will help satisfy your need for tribal feeling. Besides, you don't want to be stuck in one place in development, do you?
Da Vinci was a noble party-goer in his day. For example, when he was invited to the court of the French king and was given the honorary title of "royal engineer", he, instead of building a great one, decided to organize big masquerades, balls and drunks. Leonardo was not a boring guy - he knew how to relax.
In the case of drawing up a schedule for the day, you must take into account that it must include rest. Let it be 2-3 hours, but devote them to your favorite activities: reading, playing video games, chatting with friends, watching videos on YouTube. Your brain deserves some rest and relaxation, so remember this.
Important conditions
In order for the Da Vinci Schedule to work as it should, you need to pay attention to a number of important conditions that will help you stay on track.
Task list
The task list is the most powerful productivity tool. It reflects the essence of your work, your goals and your capabilities. Helps clear the clutter out of your head. Each morning, write down the 5 most important tasks for the day on this list and rank them according to difficulty: from the most difficult task to the easiest.
Flow
The flow arises at the moment when you plunge into deep and uninterrupted work. Rhythmic music can help you with this, which will coordinate your actions and focus your attention. Be sure to turn off external stimuli so that you can enter the flow. External irritants can be: email, phone, browser tabs.
You need about 15 minutes to enter this stream and work for four hours in this state. Therefore, we suggest doing the main work from 10 am to 2 pm so that you have enough time for everything else.
Morning weekdays
Waiting for your perfect morning schedule? Get:
Wake up at 6.30.
- Run 3 kilometers.
- Take it.
- Make a good breakfast and eat it.
- Read a book for 30 minutes (you can during breakfast).
- Give 20 minutes to news or business that interests you.
- devote 10 minutes to gathering, clothes and your own thoughts.
- Go to work.
Weekends
We think it's okay to work on weekends. But only if you like the job, and you get pleasure and benefit from it. But this does not mean that you have to burn out at work. Once a week, you can go to a bar or club to send your brain into free swimming and just relax.
You should sleep no more than 8 hours, otherwise you lose precious time, and unnecessarily long sleep harms brain activity. The essence of the weekend is to restore the psyche, to motivate yourself for new achievements. The weekend is your time when you can do whatever you want. Rest, but do not get dumb from this rest. Do something useful. For example, you can learn to knit sea knots. When you become a pirate, this knowledge will be useful to you.
The main thing is wisdom: acquire wisdom and for all your property acquire intelligence.
The parables of King Solomon (4.7)
The given tips relate to both building a career for young specialists and strengthening the authority of “bison” managers, increasing the efficiency of people management.
These recommendations were "tested" in dozens of management seminars (4 academic hours each) in the presence of up to fifty top managers. "Golden Rules" receive consistently high marks from students - from heads of departments to heads of regional and regional organizations that oversee thousands of enterprises.
1. THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A CAREER BETTER BETTER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CHARISM
Charisma means:
Passionarity (increased energy);
Some outstanding ability;
Charm (including the charm of formidable power);
Ability to influence people and lead.
2. IN A NEW COLLECTIVE IMMEDIATELY INSTALL THE GROUP "LAYOUT" AT THE LEVEL OF YOUR OFFICE POSITION (IN THE GROUP, DEPARTMENT, IN THE TOP MANAGEMENT):
Who are the favorites, favorites and all the other "persons close to the emperor", ie influencing decision making;
Who is the main "gray cardinal";
Who are the formal and informal leaders;
Who shapes public opinion;
Who immediately greeted you coldly;
Who showed kindness to you.
Get closer not only to the “warm” ones, but also to the “cold” ones. It is necessary to neutralize the dislike of the first impression without shelving it.
Use your first company party to watch people tipsy when the brakes are released. In general, it is extremely useful to study the behavior of animals, children, madmen and drunks.
3. IMMEDIATELY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH WOMEN
This recommendation applies to both men and women. Women are even more picky about the latter. As you know, reputation is what is said behind your back, and it is shaped by public opinion. And according to L.N. Tolstoy, "institutions are dominated by men, and public opinion is dominated by women." Information spreads faster by women due to their higher communication skills.
4. UNTIL YOU GET INTO THE TECHNOLOGY, IN THE COURSE OF THE BUSINESS, LISTEN MORE THAN YOU SPEAK
If you immediately freeze stupidity, then you can earn a corresponding label, which will then have to be ripped off for a long time, maybe together with the skin ...
Try to overcome the passionate desire to show yourself at once in all the glory of your abilities. Remember that in an established team, all social roles are already assigned. Climbing into the occupied places, you will raise a certain wave of status movements among everyone you have moved. Will your such harsh "applications" cause them a standing ovation? .. It is not wise to make ill-wishers right away.
In a new team, where everyone is new, you shouldn't yawn. Better to immediately designate your place in the sun.
5. FIND YOURSELF PATRON
If you are hired by an acquaintance, then maintain a close relationship with the person who helped you get a job.
If you are not a protege, then find yourself an unofficial patron, even if you have been given a formal mentor. It is good if the mentor becomes both your senior friend and informal guardian.
Having outlined a patron for yourself, figure out what you can give him in return? As the ancient Chinese sage Han Fei-Tzu said, "if you want to take, you must give." Many patrons are content with in-group information about the team that they receive from their protégés ...
In any case, it is useful to periodically consult a patron for advice both on the merits and on personal relationships with people. Do not forget to sincerely thank “for valuable information”, for we are never so grateful for anything as for gratitude.
Sometimes you will have to be in the role of an errand boy. So, we agree with L. Peter that "an uninterested patron is not a patron."
So, if you have excessive pride, then forget about your career, friend ...
Try not to advertise your closeness to the patron chief. People are jealous and envious. Yes, and your successes will be explained only by the "shaggy hand".
6. MODESTY IS DECORATED ONLY IN THE FIRST. AND THEN THE PERSON IS TREATED AS HIMSELF SUPPLIED
When you have looked around and assessed the group layouts (usually after three months), then you can begin to "give a voice" in defense of the intended social role in front of those who are clearly weaker than you. The protracted position of a conformist is the lot of the weak, mediocre and doomed to the role of eternal status outcasts.
People generally do not forgive someone who cannot bring themselves to be respected. So, figuratively speaking, - you will be silent, like a stump - they will gash.
But one should not go to the other extreme, even though they say that impudence is not the second happiness, but the first, second, third ...
7. AFTER HAVING LOOKED AT A NEW PLACE, START TO ELIMINATE THE FAILURES THAT YOU SEE WITH A FRESH LOOK
Until your eyes become blurry, notice what can be improved in its place. It is important not to teach others, but to act on your own.
Let people see that with your coming something is real; improved.
8. START TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS ON THE PRINCIPLE "FROM SIMPLE TO COMPLEX"
To do this, break down a complex problem into a number of elementary ones. Assign responsible persons and deadlines.
By bringing any simple idea to completion, you immediately show yourself to be a serious person.
9. IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE COLLECTIVE IN GOOD CONDITION, DO NOT HURRY TO MAKE CHANGES -
We know that a new boss wants to develop a vigorous activity for self-affirmation. But how many people in a hurry managed to do this without breaking the wood?
10. FORM A TEAM OF LIKE-MINDERS<
These are not those who will look in your mouth, but those who agree with the direction, from the strategic lines. Let them argue with you to the point of hoarseness about how to achieve the intended goals.
We will immediately touch on the problem of “team building”. The point is that the divide and conquer position has proven itself over thousands of years of practice. Now it is called the "policy of checks and balances." I believe that cohesion is more necessary for primary teams to perform very specific tasks. A grassroots pooling does not threaten top management with conspiracies, "riots" or sabotage. "Below" people of lighter "weight" categories and statuses swarm about.<
Let's add that before starting with a "new broom in a new vengeance", you need to make sure that you cannot use the existing footage. There are also disadvantages in working with old acquaintances whom you bring with you (see below).
This is another common truth that is usually violated. The biggest threat is familiarity and familiarity, and hence the poor control over your acquaintances.
However, such a personnel policy is permissible for a small family business, when everything is in sight, when the leader does not need to work on an official image.
12. SUPPORTING NOMINATIONS
World history shows that many prominent personalities nominated talented people for new leadership, regardless of age. Young people are more ambitious and energetic, and with savvy, experience comes quickly. It is safer to rely on them, since they are personally loyal for being dragged through several hierarchical levels at once. Therefore, they owe everything to the boss.
13. USE INFORMATORS
They can be picked up from the number of helpful pleasers, gossips, talkers. By their very nature, they will not be able to remain silent when their boss questions them. Give them some concessions to encourage them. So you can keep your finger on the pulse: prevent conflicts and conspiracies, learn about staff problems and the personal affairs of employees.
In the United States, the institution of paid informants has long been practiced. Pragmatic Americans believe that "everything that benefits the organization is moral."
14. DON'T YOU WANT TO USE THE SERVICES OF SUBSIDERS TO RESOLVE YOUR FAMILY CASES
Sly, helpful people have ruined more than one reputation. They entangle a short-sighted boss with services, like Gulliver's midgets. It has long been said: "be afraid of the Danes who bring gifts." But again, alas, "wisdom cries out at the Stogny and no one hears it ...".
15. DO NOT AIM TO BE A GOOD GUY
On this occasion, Plato sighed: "It is impossible to be both very good and very rich at the same time."
Yes, the good guys are comfortable, but they are rarely respected. Besides, you can't please everyone anyway. As they say, patting on the shoulder won't kick out the shit ...
16. DON'T CLICK WITH UNSWEED ADVICE TO THE HIGHER
Even François de La Rochefoucauld noted that even those who ask for advice are simply seeking approval for a decision already made. Someone else's advice is bad already because it does not come from ourselves ...
And when the boss himself asks for advice, it is better to first try to find out: “Petr Petrovich, what do you think? It cannot be that you, such an experienced person, did not have your own options. "
17. DO NOT GET OUT WITH A DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR INTELLIGENCE AT THE MANAGEMENT.
SAVE THIS FOR SUBMISSIONS
In fact, often the position of "playing the fool" is sympathetic to the authorities. People more often forgive us for our shortcomings than for our strengths.
18. EVERY SANE IDEAS TO FINISH. BUT DO NOT CONSIST IN DELUSIONS
When performers see that most of your directives and new projects are "down on the brakes," it is most demotivating for them.
But be able to aloud admit the error of your decision. As they say, people tend to make mistakes, and fools tend to insist on their mistakes. Stubbornness is not only a “sign of fools” (Y. Knyazhnin). Often, stubbornness is characteristic of the weak and insecure. At the same time, people realize that admitting their mistakes is the ability of strong natures. Objectivity only confirms the authority of just leaders.
19. LISTEN TO ALL OPINIONS, THEN MAKE DECISIONS YOURSELF
Take the floor last. Otherwise, why did you gather specialists? Before announcing your decision, make it clear to each member of the meeting that you correctly understood the essence of their proposals.
20. FOLLOW THE RULE FOLLOWING: "EVERY GOOD DEED SHOULD BE REWARDED, AND EVERY NON-JOY - PUNISHED"
In this ancient Chinese wisdom, the key word is “everyone”. When no one, especially the boss, shows his own; reactions to an employee's successes and failures are discouraged. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage, at least in words, even small good and make comments about albeit insignificant improper performance.
21. DO NOT DROP IN THE CURRENT
In other words: "Do not give deeds of power over yourself" (Chuang Tzu).
Remind yourself every day of the most important, strategic issues. They are the most important ones. At the end of the day, schedule the most important things for tomorrow.
the task of a leader, especially of the top echelon, is to think about development prospects: to look for sources of new ideas and projects, new exits to influential organizations and people, to study advanced management experience, including abroad.
Modern information technologies make it possible to establish automatic control over the implementation of plans. Meetings should only be held when absolutely necessary.
Carefully selected professional assistants, from the secretary, can provide the most optimal time management.
22. DO NOT DO WHAT YOUR SUBSIDERS CAN DO
This well-known rule is also often violated by leaders of weak character, impatient, inexperienced. In other cases, petty bosses cannot wait to take pride in the work they have done. But they do not understand that this has taken away such an opportunity from their performers, again to the detriment of stimulating their interest in work.
As a result, such managers are drowning in turnover, unable to delegate authority to subordinates.
23. KIND OUT THE GAME OF COMPETITION BETWEEN SUBMISSIONS, BUT DON'T DRIVE THEM TO MUTUAL HATE - THE CASE WILL SUFFER
The need for competition as a way of self-affirmation is just as human as the need for adrenaline. From time immemorial, these motives have been exploited by those who want to influence others.
Organize production competitions in such a way that the "rules of the game" and incentives - prizes, awards, positive emotions - are clearly defined. The objectivity of the assessment criteria will help losers perceive defeat as a non-personal insult.
Unlike social competitions, today it is recommended to select not only the winners (three), but also to declare the most lagging behind (two). Thus, the balance of the "carrot" for the leaders and the "stick" for the outsiders will be carried out. This, by the way, will become a convenient basis for negative certification results in order to dismiss the latter. The point is that the middle peasants, the "swamp" that does not feel the strength to take at least third place (to get the "carrot"), will be stimulated by the fear of the "stick" - dismissal provided they take the last places.
Summing up, let us say: "the lying ones must be beaten so that they do not stale." And in order for the team to work like a clock, it also needs to be "wound up".<
24. DO NOT MAKE A SCREAM FOR ANY REASON
Needless to say, they quickly get used to this and do not react. Affect not the ears, but the pride.
25. DO NOT RELEASE PANIBRACY OR FAMILIARIES TO ANY OWNED SUBSERATE
If you took your good friend or relative to work, then strictly warn that you can only talk to you without witnesses.
Do not hesitate to make appropriate remarks to all "violators". People tend to mistake mildness for weakness in most cases.
26. DRESS ACCORDING TO YOUR STATUS
The appearance of each employee should ideally correspond to his status. The boss must also look like the boss. Don't be shy about wearing nice clothes. In accordance with class hatred, the leader will still be under fire, no matter how he dresses. Your sweater and jeans will annoy your subordinates with the fact that you seem to want to show your "supposedly" low earnings.
The staff should be familiar with the rules of corporate culture when hiring and understand that their appearance is no longer their personal business. This is especially true for those who are in contact with clients and partners.
27. SPORTING DOES NOT ONLY STRENGTHEN YOUR HEALTH, BUT AND AUTHORITY AMONG MEN AND WOMEN
The image of any employee is determined, among other things, by his physical form. Say what you like, but everyone wants to have a chef who is pleasant to look at and who can be proud of. Who wants to obey insignificance or be friends with him? It is not for nothing that being healthy is now very fashionable all over the world.
28. DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR RACIAL, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL LIKES WITH ANYONE
In any Russian collective there are enough people of the most diverse nationalities. Face control can often be wrong. Therefore, speaking in a mocking or condemning tone about a nation, you can greatly offend a person.
There are cases when opposing political views led to the destruction of the family atmosphere and even divorce. Therefore, the leader should not encourage the exaggeration of political topics in which, as you know, everyone considers himself Talleyrand, Gorchakov and Bismarck.
29. OWN YOUR FACE. PASSING ON SMILE WITH SUBSIDERS
There is a need in people to obey. This makes it easier for them: the struggle with their own laziness and aimlessness of their existence.
A constantly smiling person does not give the impression of being able to use the whip. A good leader and generally a successful person is usually not a bad actor. And if you do not want to play the role of a strict boss, then employees have no incentive to play the role of an executive subordinate. But, playing an important role, do not overdo it!
30. PRAISING TOO FREQUENTLY, RELAXING PEOPLE<
Alas, as soon as the need for recognition is satisfied, our motive to continue working at the same pace and quality weakens for a while. We will have to reluctantly agree with the not too humane opinion of the English poet W. Blake that "a curse invigorates, a blessing relaxes."
31. A LEADER JUST SHOULD INSERT FEAR
Fear can be generated in two ways.
1. Indicate to the employee that as a result of improper actions, he can lose from what is already available, both materially and morally. Threats of losing status are more stimulating to people with low ambitions, middle peasants.
2. Draw the loss of future benefits and a possible rise in status. This is more stimulating to the ambitious, determined to achieve.
In addition, everyone should know that you will not remain silent when you notice the disorder and punctures. However, try to be feared without hate. To do this, it is enough to combine strict exactingness with justice.
32. FIRST ENEMY - WEAK DISCIPLINE
To paraphrase Napoleon's words, the weakness of the one in power is the greatest threat to the enterprise.
First of all, a weak boss has a weak performing discipline of the team.
Many sacrifices can be made in the name of strengthening order. For example, fire one arrogant sales manager so that he does not set an example for ignoring corporate rules.
I would put up a poster in every office with F. Nietzsche's aphorism: "Let obedience be your valor!"
33. BE HARD, DON'T LOW TO RUDE
Let the same F. Nietzsche said that “you need to talk with hunchbacks like a hunchback,” nevertheless, the leader must observe the appropriate rituals. It is rituals and conventions that build service relationships and maintain social statuses. Being able to control oneself is an extremely rare quality, so people involuntarily begin to respect those who do not stoop to their level, do not lose face.
In addition, employees, deep down in their hearts, realize that the boss, who switched to profanity, turns out to be no special, outstanding personality. And now, there is no past reputation. "I'll have to tell the guys this news."
Screaming generally indicates powerlessness. And often - and about wrong. No wonder it is said: "Jupiter, you are angry, then you are wrong!"
and on the account of profanity, along the way, we note that very often they switch to it in order to establish a more trusting atmosphere. Therefore, experienced people believe that if the boss switched to you, then things are bad.
34. OPTIMUM LEADERSHIP STYLE - FLEXIBLE
Liberal or collective leadership styles are more suitable at the stage of a stable and stable position of an organization or enterprise. For this phase, L. Kapitsa's words are appropriate: "To be able to manage means not to interfere with good people to work."
But in a period of restructuring, a radical breakdown, the authoritarian style is more effective. Otherwise, in unfamiliar conditions, the matter will get bogged down in the discussion of the proposed solutions.
Another thing is that being flexible is not so easy. Leadership style largely depends on the personal qualities of the leader. The manner inherent in a person in relations with people can be determined genetically (temperament, ambition). Sticking to the same style is easier because it's familiar. Ultimately, founders are better off hiring a manager who matches their nature and experience to the specific situation.
35. IF THE THREAT SOUNDS, IT SHOULD BE FULFILLED
There is nothing more demotivating than an unfulfilled threat. This devalues \u200b\u200bsuch a powerful incentive as the "whip" in the form of fear. In addition, the manager's reputation as a serious person suffers.
Better to promise to apply a not-so-impressive sanction, but do it. Otherwise, no matter how much the subordinate gets from the authorities, it will fly into the other ear. So, stick to the "promised but fulfilled" principle.
36. THE COLLECTIVE SHOULD SEE THAT IT IS NOT A PUNISHMENT OF A HUMAN, BUT A MISTRESS
The team will see this only if there are no double standards, under which some are not at all responsible for the same offense, while others receive over-the-top measures. Of course, it is difficult to be God, but you need to focus on him ...
37. ONLY SUPERIOR TEAM ALLOW TO UNFREQUENT SITES
If necessary, show attention and closeness to the people. Please personally congratulate the most worthy employees on their anniversaries. But raise a glass only with those who are no less of a rank than your deputy and heads of departments.
Get out of the table more soberly. Everyone is looking at you. If it's not enough, then it's better to drink it on the side.
38. GIVE IN TO THE REQUESTS WITHOUT HARMFUL CASE
Excessive severity and formalism is more likely to be characteristic of young and insecure bosses. If the person does not abuse requests, go to a meeting. The time will come when you ask him to do something beyond his official duties. In addition, it was noticed that a good deed restores efficiency.
39. Praise in the presence of the people, scold without witnesses
Praise in front of witnesses will weigh ten times more than in private. In the end, the most precious thing for people to work is the status, respect and recognition of those around them. Therefore, it is necessary to award in a solemn atmosphere, at a general meeting. A framed letter will be more expensive than an envelope with money stuck in the hallway on the go.
A person will forgive us anything, but not public humiliation. Public harassment is the kind of stress that only stimulates you to work for a short time. The hatred for you and your entire business will remain forever. After all, you let it go; downwind Reputation, the status that the employee was collecting bit by bit at your enterprise. And if the dressing is also unfair, then you yourself will lose face first of all.
40. PUNISH INNOCENT, BECOME HIS DEBTOR
It is no secret that any, even the most severe, person after an unfair act feels, if not remorse, then some mental discomfort. In an effort to make amends, we often reward in the same way. And again, nothing good - people see that the promotion is not deserved, and you are still unfair.
41. IF A SLAVE HEARS YOUR SPEECH SILENT, IT IS A SMART SUBLANT
We all are in the role of subordinates. Therefore, we should learn from such seasoned people.
Practice shows that a normal person cannot shout and swear for more than 5-10 minutes, even if he is a governor.
First, they often shout not at a subordinate, but at "force majeure circumstances." We need to blow off some steam. Secondly, a person in a state of passion hears nothing and does not want to hear. Making excuses is even more annoying. It is necessary to be silent until the boss himself asks the question after having shouted.
42. PUNISHMENT OTHERS, AND REWARD YOUR HANDS
This is also an old proven truth. Most people do not bother to penetrate into the essence of things and are content with what lies on the surface. Few people realize that everything is done with the knowledge of a serious boss, and not at the will of deputies.
And in general they say that it is indecent to reveal the soul to people - they have enough of their nasty things ...<
44. DO NOT SHIT ANYONE'S EYES: EARLY OR LATE, HE WILL KNOW
It so happens that the walls really "have ears." According to the “law of meanness,” a person about whom you speak badly can stand behind you or behind a thin door or partition. In addition, as you know, people have a passion how pleasant it is to pass on nasty things about others. According to Socrates, it is easier for people to keep hot coals on their tongues than a secret. It seems to me that 90 percent of secrets at work are blurted out within one day. Another 9 percent - with the next drink.
5. MAKE SURE YOUR ORDER IS UNDERSTANDED CORRECTLY
A huge percentage of management failures are associated with communication overlaps. People misunderstand and convey information and orders. Therefore, it is not enough to ask: "Well, is everything clear to you?" Many timid or indecisive employees answer: "Everything is clear", although often it is not at all clear, but vague. But who wants to look dumb? And standing “on the carpet”, as they say, you feel like dust.
So it's best to ask how the subordinate is going to follow your instructions.<
46. \u200b\u200bREASONS FOR SERIOUS CHANGE SHOULD BE EXPLAINED TO THE COLLECTIVE IN TIMELY
Basically, this is the function of the internal public relations service. Let us briefly recall that two-way communication with the team can be maintained:
Through corporate newspapers, bulletins, wall newspapers;
Through ads at the checkpoint;
Internal computer communication (Intronet);
By radio broadcast;
By personal speaking at general meetings;
At corporate events.
wow, the contradictions and the latent need for hatred of the "enslavers" makes the collective suspect the leadership of malicious intent and incompetence. Timely informing about the plans of management and the state of the enterprise eliminates rumors, panic: “The less we know, the more we suspect” (G. Shaw). Ultimately, we motivate people to achieve their goals.
47. THE IMAGE OF A COMPETITOR-ENEMY WEBSITES THE COLLECTIVE
As you know, any group is united by a common hatred. Therefore, staff dissatisfaction associated with “temporary” difficulties "can sometimes be directed towards the image of an enemy-competitor." Cohesion is organized hatred! "(D. Chapman).
48. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PREFERRED BY AN UNFAITHFUL MIND<
Unfortunately, we live in a time of severe integrity deficit. In part, the management itself provokes this by unfair distribution of the company's profits or by ignoring the problems of personnel. But in the Russian masses, in the general case, morality was greatly shaken. As a result, we have a dire need for hardworking and dedicated implementers of ideas generated by management. More clever people who are too skewed towards their own pocket, and not the common cause.
49. MAKE PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONALS (STUDY, COURSES, SEMINARS) FIRST OF TOP MANAGERS
Japanese research suggests that top management is to blame for 70 percent of enterprise failures. And that is to say - it is difficult to come to a good result along the wrong chosen Tao - the path, the direction. And the correct Tao will lead, albeit not so quickly, to the desired goal, even with the average abilities of the entire team and external unfavorable factors.
Now many organizations are attended by young competent marketers and managers who cannot apply their knowledge just because the backward leadership simply does not understand even modern terminology.
50. INJUSTICE DOESN'T FORGIVE
"Justice" is a relative concept. It is better to adhere to this criterion: everything is fair that complies with the Labor Code, corporate instructions and rules. First of all, try not to break them yourself.
1. MAKE A BLACK NOTEBOOK
If there is a deputy, then instruct him to record the violations of each employee. The Black Notebook will help manipulate people. Forgetting your sins is a property of human memory.
52. TALK TO PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS, TO THE HEART THAT CONTROLS THE MIND
The Russian mentality is distinguished by sentimentality, sympathy, and the ability for wide impulses of the soul. Our people respond faster than others to noble appeals. Sometimes the best way out of the situation for the Master is to “descend from heaven” and directly address the collective “eye to eye” with a request for help and support in difficult times.
53. TO STOP CONFLICT, TALK WITH THE STOCKERS, NOT WITH THE WHOLE CROWD
The topic of conflicts requires a separate discussion, but the above rule is the main thing from which to start solving such problems. It is known that in the office, left without the support of the group, a person behaves in a completely different way than in front of witnesses.
If the group has allocated several representatives for negotiations with the administration, then it is necessary to try to talk in the office with each separately, cutting off the rest in the reception.
An incentive can be found for every informal leader to abandon confrontation. Often, the ringleaders spoil the people with a long-range view of bargaining for some benefits. It is the easiest way to neutralize such “fighters”.
It is more difficult with those who do not compromise, putting forward excessive demands of the team. Then you need to start looking for old sins in their past activities. You can tolerate bozoters until the very first certification. In the meantime, it is hard to collect dirt on them in the line of labor discipline, performance of official duties and compliance with the position held. You can also record punctures of their subordinates, for which they should be responsible.
54. DO NOT SHAWL WHERE YOU WORK, AND DO NOT WORK WHERE YOU SHAWL
Sometimes it is worth taking the bosses by the breasts. If the boss herself does not mind ... And if, we add, you are a single young specialist. For the start of a career, you can "fool around" not to the detriment of family peace. But then, in adulthood, this is not recommended. Usually office romances turn into office tragedies, whether you are in the role of a boss or a subordinate of your seducer or seducer. It is not for nothing that folk wisdom says: do not be naughty where you work, and do not work where you are naughty. Alas, everyone knows this common truth, and very few people manage to avoid it. Truly, man is an irrational being. Typically, an affair goes beyond its limits with the help of a green serpent at corporate parties.
55. DO NOT START AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS ON FRIDAY
you can only take that statement at its word and try to follow the results of what we started that day. I did it and now I am glad that sometime 30 years ago I read this sign. People, it turns out, have noticed since ancient times that what begins on Friday ends badly. Sailors in the old days did not go out to sea on these days.
On Fridays, it is better to dodge under any pretext from important meetings, negotiations and making responsible decisions, from making acquaintances. On this day, it is safer to deal with routine, routine, continue what you started.
56. BE INTERESTED IN THE PROBLEMS OF PEOPLE
This can be done not only through informants, but also through systematic questionnaires, preferably anonymous. Remember to monitor the opinions of all managers, starting with yourself.
57. COLLECT BIRTHDAYS
Forgetting to wish your boss a happy birthday is a rude puncture, unforgivable for a purposeful person. A couple of immediate superiors must be congratulated without fail. The rest of the people you need - preferably, especially from among women.
They say that Leonid Brezhnev, perhaps, was helped to become General Secretary by his habit of starting the day by opening his “memorial service” and calling “newborns”.
58. DON'T FLOW WITH THE CURRENT
Career strategy is based on a number of principles.
First of all, you need to make sure that you are not interested in living and working conscientiously without growth. But the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills cannot be limited. If you compare your workforce with a product, then you need to apply "active marketing" to promote yourself to your loved one.
To move in the service, you can: a) try to sit out the boss; b) help him grow so that he makes room for you. As the saying goes, the best way to make a career is to help someone who is making a career. This path is more useful in any case. For example, the boss will appreciate your efforts and, if he moves to a better place, he will most likely take you with him.
But it may also happen that your boss will try to get rid of you, a capable "upstart," by pushing you to another unit, away from him. As they say, having nominated a subordinate, he will slam the door behind him ...
The policy of "not sticking out", "sniffing in a rag" often bears fruit for honest workers. It's no secret that many people choose deputies on the basis of the "worse-than-themselves" principle.
Well, and the classic "three NOT": Don't interrupt! Do not argue! Don't criticize!
So, don't be too sweet - otherwise they will lick. Don't be too bitter, otherwise they'll spit it out ...
