When Your Bonus Becomes an Onus

Whether you are a trainer, manager, salesperson or professional, you often give extra things to people. Such bonuses usually are in non-monetary terms. Common bonuses include free coaching, extra tuition, paid holidays and of course training (paid by companies).  
Unfortunately, many people consider such bonuses as onouses instead. This is because they don't see any value in these bonuses. They also feel that they incur extra effort and time to get these 'free bonuses", like to attend training they must wake up early.
When the staff see these bonuses as onuses, their perception of their bosses will become more negative than before.  Thus it is important that we must ensure that bonuses do not become onuses or this will backfire and make us look stupid. 
There are 3 things that we must do if we don't want our bonuses to become onuses:
  1. Place a value in the bonuses, let them know how much they have to pay if they were to buy from outside, and incur extra costs like transportation and searching cost
  2. Don't state things as 'free', state the value.  For example, instead of saying, "Receive a free security program when you buy this software", say, "Receive a $250 security program at no cost when you purchase this software"
  3. Let people know how much sacrifice you have made to secure this free bonus for them
In short, when you value what you give, what you becomes a bonus, not an onus. Happy giving!

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. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life.
