You could be an operator, a maker and multiplier

Be better than before, than yesterday...





There are three things that you can progress through in your life:    as an operator, a maker, or a multiplier

    1.  An operator -  you follow the work rules, the job description and do what you are told;   you dare not
         venture beyond the four squares and you get your pay  8 - 5 and then you retire.  Nothing ever                     changes

    If you ever one wants to go beyond himself he must ask himself:

    1.   Does this thing challenge me?

    2.  Can this affect other mans life

    3.  Can this change the world

  2.  A maker -  an inventor, an innovator.  A participant in Genesis 1:28  Somebody who goes beyond the
       four lines.    He participates in the continuing creation.  He is out to create an impact to the world.
       He realizes the impact of his life in the community and for others

  3.  A multiplier  - Somebody who is a sower and multiplies his impact to the community and the world
       This applies to a teacher, a leader, a community worker, a company CEO, an author.  An influencer.
       His value goes beyond his own community  and locality

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Excusers, excuses, alibis

It is about getting better...

One as a leader and manager is constant pursuit of improvement and results.  Oftentimes, you haveto outrun the subordinates ability to make alibis and excuses.  That is what is probably ailing the nation.   We always have sacrificial lamb, a whipping dog to take the blame for our weaknesses, and sin of omissions.

This morning I was talking to a laborer doint sidewalk works in front of the house.  This post previously removed splatters on our gate and walled fence which was freshly painted.   It took me half day scratching the splatter which left ugly marks.  The worker simply said not answering the question that he will manually do the manwhole cover.  I was wondering whether he heard me or was all ready making an excuse.
