I will discuss this and please read these ahead of time for RRURAC prior to the said date. It is hoped that we can be better. If we continue pursuing things without changing
ourselves and our mindset, we are just CRAZY
There are certain basic principles in life and in our employment and career that we must remember and etch in our minds and hearts. These are products of or more than 42 years
of working on the job, and running the organization
1. WE ARE PART OF A COMMUNITY
- a workforce, a neighborhood, a barangay, a town;
- the question always is "what can I contribute" - food, labor in construction, cooperation, ambag sa patay
in hunting community or fishing community, viands are shared, or the catch with a sick or disabled member
- you do not graduate alone
- you are part of the team
HENCE THE NEED TO BE
1. A TEAM PLAYER
2. to communicate
3. to respond to the communication
4. to be responsive to the need of the community
FOR HGMP WE NEED TO SELL. If we can sell we can pay our wages, and pay taxes AND HELP THOSE WHO ARE NEEDY
Action plans:
1. Understand our business and what you can contribute;
2. Know the team members and what they know, what they can contribute and how they feel
3. Know their jobs publish this and let every one know what one is expected to finish by the end of the day
4. Communicate communicate communicate. Every morning, open gmail, fb, viber read and respond to the messages. Give priority to Main Office
messages. Assign someone. It is by default that the most senior staff, and or cmo handle the CP We have assigned and paying compensation for
corporate communications. And this must be attended to
2. TIME IS GOLD
Of all the resources we have, that is the scarciest and precious. Time lost is lost forever
Reality - many stuff sit in files, unacted and frequently followed up without results
Opportunity lost is lost forever; when the deal is gone, it is gone
Do the best you can while you can...
TIME whiz by so fast. The world passes by without you. You are left behind if you dont act
Action plan:
1. Focus on your job; keep personal cp elsewhere: u se the company cp on the job;
2. Have a master plan on what the sbu is to do for the day/week; "singilin kung nagawa o hindi araw2"
3. Have a planner/organizer write down your plans and achievement; Rate how you are successful: ie that you are able to finish what you planned
Strive to do this 100% if you are 50 to 80%
3. RESULTS MATTER
- Not the inputs, thoroughputs (ITO MODEL) but the output including its quality (DOCSMN)
-Sales and collection matter, not the seminars or memo or other stuff that you did that might be irrelevant
- Mind the CE, Ishikawa diagram, and 4m
- Ask yourself if what you are doing is relevant to the results (Ofttentimes they are not or that is nothing is being done for the results)
(In the company where I grew up, that was a constant topic: AM, Noon PM. In Chinese families, these are constant topics
1. Prioritize and find out what are higher value activities; focus do yourself what are higher value activities; delegate clerical messengerial janitorial jobs.
Thus sales is a high value activity, so is training, Filing going to SSS are not.
2. Analyze your tasks and steps. Some may be bypassed and leapfrogged, some may have shortcuts. KISS some of the tasks. The great strategists leapfrogged
bypassed certain sub objectives.
Action plans:
1. List down high value activities, low value activities; List down 5 important tasks that you must do daily, 6. those that can be delegated outsourced, delayed or bypasse
4. Thus it follows, that its ACTION NOT WORDS (although words precede action) count
Thus: always update on communications: gmail, text, dm sent you. mag update magfeedback. Please no response na nasabi ko na po. You are not messengers
you are action people.
For pdca and other written memo, an after action report is required.
5. One of the secrets of success is keeping your word. Deliver what you promised Yong napag usapan gagawin. (Be unlike politicians who are just full of sound or promises.)
This is is part of integrity.
6. Our role is to be EXECUTIVES, EXECUTORS - getting things done. A janitor executes cleanliness; a GT beauty by planting and landscaping. Our CSS executes interment
7. There are 3 types of people: 1. who do not know what is happening 2 who watch happen and 3, who make things happen. We need No 3.
WTDN
1. DO PDCA - it is a practice on learning how to do; 50% OF THE TASK IS DONE WHEN IT IS WRITTEN DOWN (Kindlins law)
- it is a practice on critical thinking, writing, and being organized
THUS REPORT MATTERS (Reality: sbus are spotty or negligent on this aspect)
2. Do an after action report ALWAYS
3. Work back on unsubmitted reports;
4. It is suggested that after all we expected people to be more productive with more than generous salary increase; that a portion of the same be withheld until
reports are done 100%; ccd call out incomplete report submission
5 Find your PURPOSE. Begin with the end in mind
1. Why are you here? What are you living for? It takes time to really find out what this is all about and determine your real purpose in life Having a purpose is like
reading a book in reverse; Go to the ending first and work back on the chapters. Just like our Muslim brothers
2. We call these mission, goals objective or targets.
3. For most it is simply having wages at 15 and 30; some may even be anti business or antagonistic (then they should stop working)
4. We go back to the tagalog translation of job
1. Paghahanap ng ikabubuhay
2. Paghahanap ng kabuluhan sa buhay
Most will not graduate from 1 and its no wonder that they and as most Filipinos do not go beyond their status of present life; poverty and hardship persist
5. Action plan Instruct remind staff
1. What we do is important; their jobs matter
2. Realize that we are important to the community:
1. Improvement in real estate values
2. Paying taxes
3. Providing direct jobs to the employees and indirect to the suppliers
4. Pagpapaganda ng community
5. Setting the standards of customer service and excellence (are we doing this or are we the ones being pulled down)
6 Discuss this regularly in am talk
6. SUCCESS IS PROGRESSIVE ACTUALIZATION OF DESIRED GOALS (FROM A CAREER AND CORPORATE PERSPECTIVE)
1. It is not even money, luxury or wealth or happiness. You dont need a job to be happy. You can be poor and be happy.
2. It is feeling grateful and fulfilled for doing a great job well and of being service to others
3. From a religious perspective, it is finding your gift and using that gift to be a blessing to others
It is about being blessed to be a blessing to others.
4. Somebody said this is not about wearing a Rolex watch (be it original or replica) but walking in a room and realizing that the people are there secure with
a job because of you
5. My former mentors were right that if you do your job well then may be may be someday you will be powerful govt personality becaue you have helped a number of people
6. Success is about having right habits:
1. Valuing your time
2. Good manners and courtesy
3. BEing honest
4. Keeping your word
5. Time management - being early at appointments
6. Good personal hygiene
7. Being disciplined
8. Free of vices
9. Personal improvement
10. Being positive
11. Good communicator
12. Good attitude
13. Being grateful
