company dinner later on. whee~! enjoy life. ahhh... what a pleasant day. but it's too cold in the office. brrrrrrrrr......
i just flipped through Health Today magazine and saw 'Car exhaust chokes sperm'. aha. traffic pollution damages sperm quality in young and middle-age men. watch out!


yesterday i browsed through one volume of the book from DRAKE. there's very meaningful things to learn.
'People have one thing in common: they are all different'- Robert Zend. There's got to be self respect & sensitivity.


For example, a sales manager of a measuring instruments company tells a story about himself:


'I sold a contract on which my company was not the lowest bidder. When I returned to the office, the general manager expressed pleasant surprise, saying this was the first public bid in his memory on which we won the contract award without being the lowest bidder.'


Next, there's recognition & feedback. As written in the book, psychologist William James, put it: 'the deepest principle of human nature is the craving to be appreciated'. Seriously, every single person would carry across their chest the sign: 'I want to feel important.' right?


Then there's personal interest- saying a pleasant good morning, even though you may feel anything but pleasant about it yourself; remembering people's names, making them know that you think enough of them to be willing to distinguish them from the rest of the humanity; handing out a compliment; learning more about them; and lastly avoid the habit of fault-finding.


There's also listening skills, financial motivation, strategic criticism and strategy in assigning tasks.


As said by Andrew Carnegie, 'The able executive is the person who can train assistants more capable than themselves.'


Lastly, your objectives - To be leader, not a driver.


okay, enough of work. after i read the next volume about emotional intelligence (EI), i'll blog more.
