How Full Is Your Bucket?

I don’t do this very often, but I’m going to recommend a good, short book for you to read this year.  It’s by Tom Rath, and the title is the title of this message.

How Full Is Your Bucket isn’t about filling your proverbial “Bucket List” with things to do before you die.  It’s about the power of positive comments in all relationships and how our negative comments play psychological warfare on people in the workplace and even in our homes.

I’ve given the book to members of my family and to a lot of my clients.  The damage we do to people through how we sometimes act and what we sometimes say pays a harsh penalty on our relationships, often to those closest to us in life.

I challenge you to read the book.  It will make a difference in how you think and how you treat people.  And I welcome your comments after you read it.

 
Here are a few Business & Life Tips to think about….

Business Tips:

• When leaders with complimentary skills support each other, it produces synergy. When they fight with one another, chaos reigns.
• Submitting to authority is not a sign of weakness, but rather one of strength. It simply shows that you respect those around you.
• A good interview should be more like a good conversation than an interrogation. You learn a lot more when the person relaxes.

Life Tips:

• Do good where you are. Make a difference where you live. You don’t need an audience. Inspire people one person at a time.
• Beware of people who are always looking for a fight. They think so little of themselves that they try to drag others down with them.
• The lack of belonging is what drives children away from parents, employees away from employers, and members away from groups.
