How to Hire, Admire, Develop and Retain Talents with Love

You may wonder: I am a professional manager, what has love got to do with my work?

 As we know, a manager is only good if he can get good people to work for him and get good people to stay.  Often companies are caught in a vicious circle: they need to hire people quickly to replace the loss of good people.  Once people come in, they are given everything (money, power, fame, position, responsibility and stress) except one thing: love.  As a result, good people leave them fast and they are soon caught in busy trend: hiring.  
Of course you could say that everyone in your industry is facing the same problem, this country has labour shortage, right?  It is not your fault as your company's salary is already very competitive.  Being a responsible manager, you know you have to do something to stop this.  Now there is a new strategy to do this: using Love.  Because if you don't love them, you'll lose them. 

 To many people, love is a dirty word.  To us at AsiaTrainers, love can be used professionally in your business in 7 ways, including sales and marketing.  (Click here for this article).  Answer the following 8 questions, if you find it easy to tick 'yes', you need to change your management methods now.  
  1. Do you assume that employees will tell you voluntarily what they want from their work?
  2. Take for granted that your employees know that you respect them, and therefore you don't need to show it?
  3. Expect to leave their personal lives at the door and only concern with your business?
  4. Feel that you don't have time to coach and mentor people?
  5. Avoid giving negative or creative feedback to your employees?
  6. Maintain that employee retention and leadership are not critical skills and they will stay no matter what you do?
  7. Believe that most people only use 10% of their brain, and your people are no exception?  (click here for answer to this question)

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
