CONTRIBUTION OF MARY CORTES GESTIOPOLIS.COM Escat THANK YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY
A few days ago I had a conversation with an acquaintance of mine in which we discussed on the attitude of the woman who cleans her house once a week.
Pepi, the woman who cleans the house Tuesday my friend clean the house but has the ability to drop everything has been misplaced once cleaned, this seems to irritate my friend.
Just stayed at home to see us in a Tuesday. I met my friend absolutely furious with the “mess” cleaning. On hearing her cries, I proposed to seek another “woman” to do the homework of Pepi. His answer was emphatic: “No, I will not seek another, Pepi not leave the house spotless, but it messes around good person. And that’s important because today is hard to find good people. “
His answer surprised me. I expected him to say yes, he would seek another person who is not as messy in its work, but I did not expect that the reasons for continued Pepi be based on the goodness of his person.
At the time I stopped to think about the coincidence that his theory was the reality of the business world.
I have seen my work in various companies that what matters is not what you know to do, but how do you know that the important thing is not only fitness but also the attitude that what is sought is talent people, or what is the same amount of talent and humor.
Supported this parallelism found in the annual survey conducted by the firm, The Washington Quality Group which emphasizes honesty among other characteristics that managers must have. It was a thorough study which dealt with the leadership and the way the manager is perceived Spanish.
In this study of 153 executives of 18 Spanish companies, reveals that the 2001 Spanish manager is a Chief honest and respectful to its employees, began to give importance to the emotional side, try to provide proper training and improve teamwork . However, there needs to strengthen its ability to delegate and refine their leadership to the needs of each individual.
Another of my thoughts focused on the words of Alberto Terol, European chief of calls <> stating: “You have to surround yourself with people who are sincere, able to tell you what I do not want to hear.” People tell you the truth. Ultimately lead by example.
Remembered even the famous 3 H Juan Carlos Cubeiro often preached about the ideal qualities of leaders, Humility, Humor and Honesty.
Finally, I was reminded of a joke Maitena published in the newspaper “El País” when referring to the six most difficult things to find a good “helper” (conversation between two women): “Why if well cooked, cleaned wrong … if they know to buy, are slow … if ironed it, hate children … if they are trusted, talk a lot … and if you are efficient, you’re left hanging?. I do not know, how strange is not it, a work so beautiful. “
The case of Pepi is the case for many workers do not work in terms of productivity spectacular but they are there, sometimes smiling, sometimes helping others, sometimes just listening and ultimately this is important, ” each day cleaning the house inside and out. ”
