Corporate Life

 One day l was asked 2 questions and I am certain some people are still in search of answers. So today #LETS #YAN


His questions


1. Why do employers ask for leadership/ management qualification from candidates who apply for roles that has nothing to do leadership?


2. Why outsource people to fill up managerial roles when the company has staff that has been working for years and know a lot about the company?


In a bid to cut down the up-down chain of decision-making, employers are encouraging a hands-off approach. And for a hands-off approach to being effective, companies look out for staff with a leadership mindset who can think out a solution/ decision without waiting on the management especially when it's an emergency. 


So the next time you’re being interviewed as a cleaner/gateman and you’re asked about your leadership experience don’t frown at it. 


Secondly, I don’t know if there are leaders out there who will hire incompetent people for a management role.


 But if you’re working with a company and you would love to be among the top officials- UPSCALE, IMPROVE, BE BETTER. 

If you don’t want to improve, people will be outsourced and you have no right to frown at it but to love it or accept it. 


It takes maturity 

to realize your incompetence isn’t increasing the company’s revenue. It takes courage to step down for someone else who can do a better job.


 Employers will say take the job as if it's your own even if it means stepping down for someone better as some CEOs do.


People are promoted based on competence not how long they have worked that’s why you may know some employees who are still schooling (when I was much younger I use to be like you have a job why still go to school).


IT’S EASIER to employ a novice for an admin role than employ a novice for a managerial role.

What Happens When we Attach Pain

  We know people that are currently in a toxic relationship, you’ve heard them talk about leaving the relationship but they never leave. Maybe they are in for financial benefits? Or perhaps it’s just love? And what about those people that hate their jobs but won’t quit? Why complain when they know what to do? If we give ourselves enough reason to hate someone we deeply love, we will wake up one morning and we are filled with hatred towards that person likewise if we want to fall in love with someone. What changed? “Enough reason to back up their decision” They haven’t convinced themselves with good enough painful reasons as to why they should leave. They only think of the pain they will derive after they leave. If the pain of leaving is greater than that of staying, they will stay. We weigh options and go for the less painful one. Remember when you thought you would die when your ex broke up with you? Look at you now doing just fine. You’ve convinced your heart with bitter feeling...

6 Type of Friends or People To Avoid

  Those who will never apologize. They can never say they are sorry. Those who make a mistake then blame you or someone else for their mistake. They would claim it was something you did that led to their action. They can’t accept responsibility.  Those who commit an error yet insist that they are still correct. I'm not sure if it's due to ignorance or a constant desire to be right.  Those who pretend they really want to help but behind your back, they are actually the ones declining your offer. They will give different ideas on ways to try, encourage you that you’re the best but won’t give you a chance People who hold back praise and badger but berate you when you fail. They shield your 99 good then share your 1 bad. If anyone is exhibiting any character you love and admire and sincerely want it to continue, then never cease to tell them, pride them, etc. Selfish people: the truth is we are all selfish, we want good things to happen to us. However, we can’t be oblivion to...

Mental Health is a Priority So I Quit

                                                                GettyImages:cnythzl There are certain toxic traits that one can endure and there are some that shouldn't be heard of. That staff endure certain treatment doesn't mean it is right.  I recently quit a new job when I had none to fall back on. I have never done that before. I was so excited about the job and the opportunity to learn a new skill since I didn't have experience (cold calling) and I said hey we got this we are going to learn and be the best. But the leaders are toxic. I don't know which is worse the floor manager or the overall boss.  But I'll go with the floor manager because he downgrades people during meetings and every question asked is answered incorrectly and laced with abusive words.  For example: A colleague not been up to a month on t...
