Dear pipsqueaks,
The human behavior is definitely one of the hardest things to understand, and still baffles the great minds for ages. I, for one, love to observe and attempt to dissect people's actions by being in their shoes. What, when, where, who, and why- the big 5 W's. You'd think by logical reasoning, it can't be too difficult. Then again, some people are just difficult. Period.
Take this one guy for example. He's in a managerial position watching over several staff, and yes, he does like to set the rules. BUT! Funny thing, even he doesn't do so well to follow them. So what happens? Rules ignored. Why? Because when everyone else sees that he disregards them, they don't feel the need to follow them either. Except, we never hear the end of it, how no ones does this or that. But, who's to blame here?
I mean, it's not the end of the world. But, I don't want to have to go through the whole process of nodding through him complaining that no one listens (yes, this part, I'm not listening. But hey, can't blame me!). Is it not obvious that if you want someone to do what you're asking that you'd be the enforcer of it? It's no wonder no one's convinced.
It's really not that hard. You ask and do the same, or you don't ask. Simple.
Lead by example *thumbs up*
