Workplace Rant....What to do?? Kinda Long...Sorry

I re-read the entire thread and there was one thing that caught my attention that i will mention again! I think it rings very true that you need to keep your eyes and ears open and accentuate the positive in situations you encounter! Owners/supervisors like to hear solutions to problems, not just the problem! Looking at an entire situation and coming up with a viable solution, or multiple possibilities, will show that you are just what you say you are....a "go to" guy who sees the entire picture! Also, praises for others who respond to solutions or offer possibilities will show that you are looking at the big picture and are not motivated by self satisfaction! Your people skills are almost more important than the job itself most times!! A good manager can coax mediocre employees to rise up, a great manager can keep them there!!

Accentuate the positive in all you do, and try to instill the best interest of the company and its employees at all times! I think everybody will respond to that philosophy! Geof
