I blog about building communities, because I enjoy it.
Your office is a community. Your family, relatives, and your neighborhood too.
We all like to contribute to our communities. Problem is - some may don't like what you do. Then you think they are either jealous or stupid, may be both. You harbor bad feelings. You crave for appreciation, but what you get is criticism and worse, sarcastic remarks. What can you do?
1. Ask Questions
Very simple. Yet you forget to ask important questions at a crucial point cos you forget, because you are busy- and have no time to think. Later you fire fight a lot because you did not ask a question.
"Who has time to ask all those questions?"
I hope you may not ask that question.
2. Then listen
This is the hardest part. You just listen. No questions, no emotions. Just listen. Take down few notes.
3. Think fresh
Go to a quite place, alone. Go through the notes. Make a new plan.
