Author: Nauka ShahThe best argument against holding regularly scheduled effective meetings finds support in one of the highest rules of leadership. That rule, simply stated: Never waste people time-not with unnecessary meetings or memos or reports or committees or busy work. If you waste their time, you steal a chunk of their lies. They’ll resent you for it, and rightly so. Why have meeting? You could buy a lot of goodwill by never scheduling a meeting. People get a sense of what’s going on in other areas of the operation. Meeting put a human face on supervisors and colleagues with whom employees might not otherwise get a chance to interact. They help develop and maintain a sense of solidarity and shared mission and a spirit of cooperation. In an Effective Meeting: - Everyone hears the same thing at the same time, removing some of the possibilities for miscommunication when information gets repeated. - People ask for clarification. - The speaker can read non-verbal clues to determine the level of interest and understanding in the group. - Most important, when people interact, they get ideas they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

Deciding that youre going to quit smoking is a little like deciding that youre going to climb Mount Everest. Rarely, if ever, does anyone plan to scale the peak in one day. Climbing a mountain takes preparation and an understanding that it is not a single step, but a series of movements, spaced out over a carefully planned journey, that will get you to the top. The same method applies to quitting smoking; you have to accept that it is a process with different stages that will be accomplished over time.Smoking cessation is not only a physical process, but a mental one, too. Not only does your body crave nicotine, but you mentally crave the release of tension associated with smoking. Quitting smoking is about learning how to change your underlying psychological addiction. Addiction is never simply a matter of taking away the tangible substance; its about altering the behavior that made that substance a necessary part of your daily life.Learning how to confront your own psychological attitudes toward smoking is a process that takes time, but will ultimately reward you with a much clearer sense of who you are, and how you want to live your life. How many smokers do you know who have...more
