How to Make Sure They Will Answer Your Email.

Some people miss emails.
By mistake or because they are super occupied and overloaded. 

If you're in a rush, It is a good practice not to depend solely on email. Go and talk, send a text message, or use the ultimate way to grab someone's attention - pick up a phone and call. 

If someone didn't get what you mean by email,
so call.

If you wish to make sure everything goes well,
so call.

If you wish to resolve something quickly,
so call.

Don't send emails and wait for them to answer.
Use the phone in its traditional use.
Speak.

How to Work Faster

  Being able to be fast is great. Most people move slowly. Waiting. taking their time. What makes people move slowly? Laziness, fear, carelessness. I guess. Fast people don’t wait.   They will move quickly even while knowing the process will get stuck at some point. Experienced fast-people will know how to push the right spots in order to make slow people move fast, without making the slow people angry at them, specifically Don’t overthink.  Too much power is being wasted on “making sure”. Mistakes happen also for slow people. Hire fast, try fast, buy fast, sell fast.  No rush. No hurry. Just being quick.

Tasks that will get you fired

Horrible workers that avoid requests, and ignore emails and tasks can last years in work without being fired, while great workers that try to complete all tasks and help everyone are being fired. That’s a great lesson for workers, (Employees or managers).  There are 2 kinds of tasks employees are being asked to do. The first kind are the important tasks you are hired to do or what satisfy the ranks above. The second kind is also tasks you are being asked to do like reporting or things that are needed in the process, but the ranks above don’t care about them, are not aware of them, and, in general, anyone can do them.  While this is just a dull outline, the important thing is to identify what are the "undone tasks" that won’t harm your position . Then don’t do them or do them with less attention and make more of what is really valued.

Why does mentoring fail at work?

Image
 We've just finished a mentoring session at work (The mentoring was mandatory). An experienced businessman tried to coach by asking great questions but failed to make people share real challenges. Everyone agreed there is a lot to improve but no one volunteered to bring up anything they or their boss are in charge of.  So eventually everyone just nodded, kept quiet, and promised themselves to take revenge on the one who made them sit fully aware in case someone might focus on their mistakes .  I love mentoring. People pay for mentoring. But at work mentoring can't work. You can coach, you can teach methods, but you cannot mentor. A group of people at work won't share what is needed for mentoring - unless they really trust each other and share the same interests. Maybe. Mentoring is great for one on one. For a group - bring a coach or send us to a nice brunch at a cafe.
