TODAY'S DEVOTION.POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN THE WORKPLACE PART 3.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE.“Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,” (Colossians 3:23 AMPC).
8. Put People Into Positions that Showcase Their Strengths. What better way for people to enjoy their job than to have them doing things they are good at and that they enjoy? People will be more motivated and get better results when they enjoy what they do. Some people like crunching numbers: get them to work on the spreadsheets that need to be done. Others like talking to people: maybe they would like working in customer service. Some people are natural problem solvers: put their skills to use. If you play on people’s strengths, you will see a dramatic shift towards a positive attitude in the workplace.
9.Trust Others and Evaluate People Based on Their Results. If you are a manager, trust your people to do the jobs they were hired for. If you give people the authority to do their jobs, you will get amazing results, much better than if you hover over them. Tell your people what you want them to achieve, and then let them go do it. When you trust them to do it well, they will want to honor that trust. Most people will do the best they can to live up to the confidence you’re placing in them and they will appreciate you for it. There might be the occasional person who takes advantage of this policy, but their attitude will show itself quite quickly.
10. Focus on What You Enjoy And Improve the Things You Don’t Enjoy. Make a list of the things you enjoy about your job and your workplace. Review this list often as a reminder that there are good things about your workplace. As for the things you don’t enjoy, ask yourself how you could make them tolerable. You could do them at a different time, in a different location, maybe with some music playing in the background. You can speak to your manager about them and offer a possible solution. That way, you can see something good about them and focus on that instead. Do whatever you can think of to make those tedious tasks more enjoyable. Keep challenging yourself with the question of how you can make things better until you feel a noticeable difference in your attitude towards those tasks.
TODAY'S FINAL NOTES.
Ponder on all we have talked about throughout this month. Apply them and your divine settlement will appear in all areas. I am committed to your celebration, that is my assignment.
