The biggest problem in recruitment and hiring nowadays is the Social effect called Prejudice and obvious "legal" act of Age Discrimination. Furthermore, more obvious than even stereotypes and prejudices that prevail in the society towards people with special needs, which makes them marginalised in the labour market, From generation to generation it was believed in such misconceptions and various means to prevent this from happing were introduced as Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. It has been kindling for many years on a back burner but In the last few years, it has been reignited, refuelled and now it is very difficult to eradicate this epidemic in today's society - It is spreading like a disease. We have the power to make a change Show some love and solidarity - Enough is enough!

2020 Job Search strategy - Effective job search using sales methodology

How to successfully utilise sales methodology in job search?

What sales and job search have in common? How to use sales principles to Land a job? 
In todays episode of Coffee and a Chat with Dave, we are talking about how to use the principles of the oldest profession known to human kind in job search. I will share with you a chart that will be your guide to perfecting your sales pitch and cover letter and help you compile YOU statements. WHO are you and WHY You? WHAT can YOU do to add value to my Company? WHY do YOU and WHAT is special about you? Why is it a problem, Whats in it for me and HOW can you fix it? Point of Difference

Without further ado,

Let's Talk about it!

In the middle of every WHY, WHAT and WHO stands a significant common denominator: HOW. Selling goods / products that add significant and visible value to a business is in much easier task than selling services. When you are looking for job, you are in fact selling your services. Offering, and selling Services is the most difficult job in the sales world - It takes a lot more convincing effort. You can’t see it, you can’t feel it and you can’t demonstrate the POD ( Point Of Difference ) on the spot. How do you sell your services and what information you need to present to a potential client?

Job search and sales share the same principle: It's all about making your client or employer happy and your expertise, credibility and what value do you bring to the table. Your client/employer needs to know Who are you and why are you their best option? What can you do to solve their issues, make their problems go away - Fast and cheap. Answers to interview questions or answers to your clients objections must not be perfectly scripted as it falls into a trap of not being authentic. However, your job application and/or sales pitch is a must!
Follow the 20-80 Rule Focus on the 20% 20% of your action, Should results in 80% of your success! #recruitment #jobsearch #sales

Effective Leadership - Knowing & Appreciating The Human Value - part 1 | Common Sense Leadership

Common Sense Leadership 

The major misconception, in the business world, is that humans are employed as a "resource", replaceable stock and supply designated to run a business capital and assets. 

The result of such a view is an uninspiring and detached business environment where employees are taken for granted, undervalued and the humans are treated as a replaceable stock. 

The end product, in particular, in Sales and Customer Service environments are low productivity, poor customer service delivery and high staff turnover.

Are we really losing the sense of humanity, compassion and common sense in leadership?

Let's Talk About It!

This is where it gets more interesting. Once the end product is recognised, managerial corrective measures take place and instead of "lead, inspire and motivate to achieve" we end up being result enforcement institution by implementing performance management measures.

Businesses are run by the most important business value - Its People - for the purpose of working with people to serve people by effectively utilising business resources in order to achieve business objectives, goals and vision. 

The human element adds value to your business, a personal touch that makes your business feel approachable, relatable, inspirational and human.

The Human Element is not just a systematic method for improving the way people work together. It is not just how to utilise the human element to the more surpassing fulfilment of goals and better individual, team, and organisational performance. 

Humans are the most important business value - it's the beating heart and soul of every business no matter how big or small business is. The art and craft of business creativity and innovation. Serve and treat your people well - you will serve yourself, do yourself the biggest favour and achieve greater business results.

The human element is more than just a list of 230 personal core values and behaviours. It's the Capital list of the lists of all individual core values together.

Understanding, knowing and appreciating the value of Human value is the Key to Effective Leadership.

An organisational success,

starts with the individual accomplishments and success of each employee. More time and effort you put in towards motivating, inspiring and providing support for achieving individual personal and professional goals, more benefits you gain on an organisational level. 

Develop and create a rewarding environment so that people wake up in the morning have a desire to turn up to work with you - Not for you. Treat them as your partners.

Take for an example a Bee Hive:

 Honeybees live in colonies under the leadership of one Queen bee including thousands of bees and drones. A business kept in order by the queen and her leadership. 

Although worker bees only live for approximately six weeks, they spend their lives performing tasks that benefit the survival of their colony. Bee Queen doesn't care how bees are going to get the pollen and nectar as long as the job is done. 

No micromanagement there.

Inspire, motivate and lead with integrity at the forefront,

to instil pride honesty, trust and respect. Such treatment breeds Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility which weeds out unproductive defensive behaviour Blame, Excuses and Denial. Blame, Excuses and Denial are toxic demotivators and a breeding ground for confrontations and overall team cohesion and performance destroyers.

Recognise, acknowledge and validate the human importance, 

and welcome it back into your business, be recognised as an approachable, relatable and empathetic business. Develop and implement organisational customer service culture that values how external so internal human element.

Start by recognising the Human Value acknowledge and honour humanity- Separate Humankind from the Resources.

Replace Human Resources with Human Operations or People Operations.

Follow through with showing appreciation, open two-way communication, inspire innovation and creativity...connect back with your Human side.

You don't know where to start?

All you have to do is ask. I can help your business grow by developing systematic Leadership modifications and Organisational Customer Service Culture changes and implementations.

What is Common Sense Leadership?How to achieve Happiness at work - Is there I in Team?

Common Sense Leadership, Happiness at work - Is there I in Team?

In todays episode of Coffee and a Chat with Dave,  https://youtu.be/a4G9cgIC9dc

we are talking about Common Sense Leadership, Management, Happiness at work, Teamwork and a single most important factor affecting individual success and failure in a team environment:" I " in team work - persons' ability to adopt and work effectively with others. Is there an "I" in team? Let's figure it out! Table talk and Vlog segment about life, work, school, problems, issues...every day good, bad and ugly.

So, Let's talk about it!

"Being present" in a team alone is not enough to be a good team member; you need strong " I " values to produce results on " I " level and be able to collaborate and strive to achieve the organisational objective with other members of your team. The Workplace Happiness - comes from thinking of and helping others; all the internal pain and suffering comes from thinking only of oneself. A common workplace is a network of a cooperative and collaborative effort in order to achieve organisational common objectives - Business Growth & accomplishing the organisational vision and mission. To achieve business goals, adopt a simple but yet effective stand: People work with people to serve people, rather than: "You work for me and you have to do what I ask you to do!". Work stress can be greatly reduced simply by an intentional commitment to cultivating kindness, calmness and situational awareness and by letting mindfulness guide our actions and responses. When you feel impatient with your work or colleagues, you might be resisting how things are and fighting the fact that you don't have total control - that's the signal that you need a collaborative approach. Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. Take the time to appreciate and express support for someone else’s work or project. Learn to regard work as an integral part of your growth and approach work as a way to elevate your purpose, rather than the means to survival. Do you believe, that there is no " I " in Team? Strong teams are the products of strong #leadership , clear organisational vision and powerful common goals. A team capital - is a sum of how much a leader values, respects and appreciates all individuals and their qualities, traits, passion and the human element - bound and driven by the common cause, mutual benefits, common objectives and a shared vision. #TEAMWORK Starts with " I " continues with " WE ": I am an individual, a Human being, a person with feelings and values, skills and life experience - so is everybody on my team! Strong team leaders align themselves with each individual and ensure that each team member values complement one another - there are no 2 the same individuals with an absolutely identical way of thinking, feeling and behaving. It is leaders responsibility to assemble the best possible team and to give every member the methods, resources and means to shine as a part of a team and instil pride of being part of "WE". Your team is the heart and soul of your operation but each individual in that team is the force, fuel and drive of that heart and soul with their unique abilities, skills, experiences and commitment to the common goals. Do you still believe that there is no " I " in Team? 

Leader - To be or not to be?

Leadership is a choice - not a position.

If you chose to be... Become a light, not a judge. Become a model, not a critic. Be a positive Influence and keep developing your moral authority. Courageously take the initiative to make good things happen. Think Big, Doo Good, Be Kind Empathise, be patient and persistent. Keep investing in your personal and professional development and stay on top of your game. Your security does not come from your job or from the patronage of other people - it comes from your ability to exceed needs and solve problems. Pick your battles very carefully Take initiative based on facts and in the form of well-thought process. The 4 main leadership values are vision, discipline, passion and conscience. But the supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, you're no leader. Five Areas of Leadership Emotional Intelligence: 1. Self-Awareness and Control. The ability to fully understand ourselves and use that information to manage emotions productively. Understanding of our emotions and the impact emotions have on performance, our impact on others, self-control, managing anger, disappointment or failure (resulting in resilience), and fear (resulting in courage). 2. Empathy. The ability to understand the perspective of others. Actively listening and understanding others’ points of view, understanding how our words and actions affect others and wanting to be of service to others. 3. Social Expertness. The ability to build genuine relationships and bonds and express caring, concern. Relationship building, collaboration, and conflict resolution. 4. Personal Influence. The ability to positively lead and inspire others, as well as ourselves. Leading others, creating a positive work climate, and getting results from others are the components of influence. Self- confidence, initiative and motivation, optimism, and flexibility. 5. Mastery of Purpose and Vision. The ability to bring authenticity to our lives and live out our intentions and values. Understanding our purpose, values and behaviours.

#Business and #Networking relationships evolve over time so does the character of trust.

Commitment is an essential ingredient for successful, long-term, relationships - Personal or professional. Business commitment arises from the trust, shared values, and a value proposition. Commitment motivates parties involved to cooperate in order to preserve relationship investment - Time, resources and effort. The development of trust is an investment in relationship building which has a long-term payoff. Trust emerges as people share experiences, and interpret and assess each other’s values and motives. As we learn more about each other, risk and doubt are reduced. Trust is the glue that holds a relationship together across time and experience. When mutual trust exists between parties involved, they are motivated to make investments in the relationship. If trust is absent, conflict and uncertainty rise, while cooperation falls. Lack of trust clearly provides a shaky foundation for a successful business #relationship #leadership #management #teamwork

Are we becoming the slaves of our own #leadership mindset?

Even Napoleon believed in #Humanity and Human effort. Napoleon introduced The Legion of Honor to reward civilians and soldiers alike. He explained:“Civilian virtues must have their reward as well as military virtues. Force itself is nothing without intelligence. Let us honour intelligence, accomplishments, civilian qualities, in other words, in all professions and let us reward them equally." What are your #leadership virtues?
