7 Ways to gain healthy workforce

I am reposting an article ( 7 Habits To Win In Office Politics ) that was originally from lifehack.org authored by Lawrence Cheok, but with my own interpretations.


I found this post helpful and factual and thought that it might also get you to work around on hard times in your own office or workforce. Everything that is posted in here is purely objective, thus you may agree or not agree on points that i might find essential. However, there is always a room for discussions and exchange of views, you may post comments or share more ways that you think should be included in this list.


Way # 1. Be aware you have a CHOICE


In all circumstances, disputes and disagreements arise without caution that can break or make your career. You just have two options when this comes your way, be sober and drool over the situation or get over it and move forward. It is up to you to choose the right feelings for the situation, staying long in aggression is not a good idea neither being numb about it. Be wise enough to control your feelings since this is the hardest to control, it might get out of way.


Way # 2. Know what you are trying to ACHIEVE


When you know what is you goal, even conflicts may arise as long as everyone has its fixed mind to reached a same goal, you will find that at the end of the day everybody has a POINT and had CONTRIBUTED on their own way to accomplished what all of you wanted to achieve .


Way # 3. Focus on your CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE


You might often complain on such given constraints, yet you must cling on more possitive sides when working. Keep thinking of good things why you are still working and never be a victim of helplessness.


“What tangible results do bitching really accomplish? In most instances, none.” Lawrence Cheok


Way # 4. Don’t take SIDES


Know your principles and trust your own assessments, in case you need to decide on things that has colliding point of views from your different bosses, tap your shoulder and be confident to stand on all of them try to convey your own ideas without taking sides yet still maintaining a good channel of communication.


Way # 5. Don’t get PERSONAL


Never go personal. Reserve yourself and save further damage in your relationship. Insults on personal things can cause grave offense and a real blacklist in his list of good employees and possible promotions.


Way # 6. Seek to UNDERSTAND, before being UNDERSTOOD


“The reason people feel unjustified is because they felt misunderstood.” Lawrence Cheok
Don’t be so consumed with your own personal gratification that everyone must understand you, why not try to get out of that shell and start understanding them instead. It is always a two way channel, if they feel that you understood them, everntually they will try to understand you too.


Way # 7. Think WIN-WIN


Get rid of the idea that when someone wins somebody else loses. When you try hard to think of ways that everyone can win, you’ll find things are a lot easer. All six ways boils down to this application it will be a WIN-WIN situation if you learn to practice all those above mentioned.

Reviewing the BASICS

Right knowledge in OOP makes your code and implementation more reliable. This can be achieved by correct coding practice and methodology. However, there will come a time that you’ll be affront with confusion of concepts and implementation of what OOP objects to use in right and efficient way. You’ll be stuck if you’re not well equipped. In this article, I’m hoping to aid newbies in this context, familiarize you with the basics of OOP that i think you need to know to get all throughout a smooth coding spree.

There is only one instance of it in the entire program execution. They can be used with the class name directly and shared by all objects of a class. Example on referring a static method or data member. class A { static int firstInt; static int secondInt; static void i...

It supports message-oriented and procedural approach XML technologies. (for further reading click here ) 1. Preparing the web application a.

How to get rid of VB Script Just-In-Time Debugger Error

Lately i have been pestered with a lame error every time my Windows starts up. The “VB Script Just-In-Time Debugger Error” shows up and it would terminate the explorer.exe process upon clicking OK. Somehow something went wrong in the system but the error does not specifically says what it is. I don’t have a clue how to resolve it. We all know explorer.exe is critical for all windows to work, thus leaving me no choice but to run it manually. For normal users who do not know how to run the explorer.exe manually, they will be paralyzed. They won’t find their way to work it except to ask for help, which sometimes can be so annoying specially when you’re up to finish a deadline. Luckily, i was so persistent enough to search for a solution. Though no one gave the exact process of eliminating this error, I come up to finally solve it through my compilation of readings and i’ll share it with you. Here's how to get rid of this error: 1. Open Regedi...
