Turn Your Team into Highly Motivated Crusaders

Yes, strike while the iron is hot, continue the momentum you've been building up this year and turn your team into highly motivated warriors to win more for your company. It is human nature for your people to take care of their own interests, but your job as a manager or leader is to get them put aside their personal goals and achieve your company's goals. The following 6 steps will convert your team into high power achievers:

Unite your team around a Cause (or dao 道) that will give instant meaning to their work. For our team of trainers, the cause is to change the world, one training at a time.
Keep their Bellies Full. Take care of their needs or their selfishness will re-surface and take over your company's goals. Make sure that your pay is competitive and there are incentives for performers to enjoy.
Lead from the Front. This means not just empathizing them, but Experience what your people are experiencing to sustain their motivation. Be a leader of action, not words.
Keep their Qi 气 , which is an energy of concentration. One of the best way to keep their spirits high is to do monthly technical training and weekly soft skills training. Most importantly, do not let negative complaints overtake positiveness.
Play to their Emotions. However, be careful not to target the emotional aspect right away. Find the best manner and timing first.
Mix Harshness with Kindness. Your harshness is the relentless pursuit of your goals while your kindness is your care and concern to them as a human. Have a good balance of rewards and penalties. Mistakes should be corrected fast and followed by reinforcement of positive actions.

This year of the Wooden Horse is not for you to be wooden and just sit there waiting for success to happen. This year is for you to gallop to the path of success with successful selling strategies. Only then can you experience 'Success on the horseback' or 马上成功 and 马到功成.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp. Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?" All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being.

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life? Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect? How about people in the past without mobile numbers? You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science? If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
