Encouraging Others

They all turned around and went to help him. All nine of the contestants, including the little boy who had fallen, linked arms and crossed the finish line together. This same belief holds true in the workplace-what really matters is helping the other members of your work team win, even if it means slowing down and changing your own course.

Encouraging Others

Whether we are dealing with other people inside or outside of the workplace, we can all learn a lot from this true story:

At a Special Olympics track and field event, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, gathered at the starting line for the 100 yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, except one little boy. He stumbled on the asphalt, fell a couple of times, then stopped trying and began to cry.

The other runners heard the boy crying, slowed down, and looked back at the boy.....

Encouraging Others

John stands on a chair-Bill and Michael grab John's left arm and right arm respectively-it is easy for them to pull John off of the chair. Now, let's say that Bill decides to try to lift John back onto the chair-much harder to do-moral of this example? It is easy to pull someone down-in other words, it is easy to criticize another person, it is easy to put that individual down, it is easy to make fun of him.

It is harder to lift him up-it may take a little more effort to encourage another person, but the world is screaming for more people out there to do this "heavy lifting."

How about making a commitment to to become a RELENTLESS ENCOURAGER!
