RELATIONSHIPS ~ THE 100/0 PRINCIPLE

What is the most effective way to create and sustain great ‪#‎relationships‬ with others? It's the 100/0 Principle: You take full responsibility (the 100) for the relationship, expecting nothing (the 0) in return.

Implementing The 100/0 Principle is not natural for most of us. It takes real ‪#‎commitment‬ to the relationship and a good dose of self-discipline to think, act and give 100 percent.

The 100/0 Principle applies to those people in your‪#‎life‬ where the relationships are too important to react automatically or judgmentally. Each of us must determine the relationships to which this ‪#‎principle‬should apply. For most of us, it applies to work associates, customers, suppliers, family and friends.

STEP 1
Determine what you can do to make the relationship work, and then do it. Demonstrate ‪#‎Respect‬ and kindness to the other person, whether he/she deserves it or not.

STEP 2
Do not expect anything in return. Zero, zip, nada.

STEP 3
Do not allow anything the other person says or does (no matter how annoying) to affect you. In other words, don't take the bait.

STEP 4
Be ‪#‎persistent‬ with your ‪#‎graciousness‬ and‪#‎kindness‬. Often we give up too soon, especially when others don't respond in kind. Remember to expect nothing in return.

Principle Paradox

This may strike you as strange, but here's the paradox: When you take authentic ‪#‎responsibility‬ for a relationship, more often than not the other person quickly chooses to take responsibility as well. Consequently, the 100/0 relationship quickly transforms into something approaching 100/100. When that occurs, true breakthroughs happen for the individuals involved, their ‪#‎teams‬, their ‪#‎Organizations‬and their families.

WHY TRUST IS SO IMPORTANT IN BUSINESS AND CAREER

Organizations characterized by a high degree of trust are often the most successful. Trust is a big deal in workplaces. If I only had a dime for every time someone said, “I don’t trust so and so” in my coaching work! The word trust means many different things, depending on whom you ask. In my management training, I ask participants to write down 10 words that equate to what trust means to them. I typically get more than 100 different responses. Answers range from integrity, confidence, moral values and predictability to being able to count on someone. When it comes to high-performing teams, I equate trust to someone’s willingness to be open, exposed and “vulnerable.” No matter the definition, one thing everyone agrees on — trust must be earned and it’s much harder to earn than it is to lose. Developing and maintaining trust is critical to success in your career, workplace teams, leadership and business. Trust is the foundation for all things good in workplaces. I ...

KEEP IT SIMPLE SWEATHERT

Avoid micro-management at all costs "I recently flipped through the declassified 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual', published in 1944 by the US Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the CIA. It lists numerous strategies that saboteurs in business environments can use to derail progress. Surprisingly, many of those tactics are being used in offices around the world today! "For instance, the manual instructs saboteurs who have infiltrated organisations to "insist on doing everything through channels. Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions". "It also advocates for being extra cautious and advises that every decision be referred to committees. Managers are advised to "Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions... See that three people have to approve everything where one would do." These instructions might sound outdated, but they’re timeless. 2. Make your ideas fit on the back ...

Why We Need to Watch Leslee Udwin's Documentary India's Daughter

An illogical, misguided outrage has gripped India. Indignant people are railing against a rapist given primetime TV slots, so the country can know his point of view. How is it -- angry people are demanding -- that channels be so TRP hungry, they're willing to allow this disturbed man's innermost thoughts be broadcast on TV? What do they hope to get from this, other than insult the memory of the one who has been immortalised (against her wishes) as India's Braveheart? #nirbhayainsulted they hashtagged, when we gave her rapist so much publicity. So, you are outraged that a documentary on rapists has been made, and is being broadcast. You, and your sensibilities, count themselves among luminaries in the feminist movement, the government, other activists and lawyers. You think the FIR filed by the police saying this film "contains offensive content which should not be broadcast in the interest of maintaining public order," is absolutely correct, and this kind of free...
