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)
  8. The last time you attended a management training was at least 3 years ago, and now you think that you can go the Library to get yourself updated on the latest management strategies?

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

Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

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
