Being Hypocrite...

Many of us probably try to be truth to him/herself, there is nothing wrong about that. But i tell you that there is nothing wrong also being a hypocrite person. You might wonder why i said that? In my experience it brought positive impact to others and i got benefit for having done such thing. Hypocrite that i want to explain here is not about permanent attitude but its strategy where your attitude has to be the front line.
This is strategy for those who are planning to reach top management level. Being a Hypocrite person still can be honest to him/herself. Because being honest to what you feel or think does not always have to be shown to others. This is the key.
Many of us had an experience when the first time got our first job, its so exciting, you might have commitment in you heart to put all energy and focus to your first job. After the last interview, you were invited to sign agreement and it was mentioned there that you will have 3 months probation period before you become permanent employee, but if you fail to show good performance during probation period then you will be terminated. Scary isnt? Yes, it is. In three months sometimes you are being forced to know all the systems, the flows of business , and the thing make you more suffer is that no one really care to teach you the flow or the system because they are all busy with their tasks. You might be desperate or stress out because you might not be able to know all of those things in just three months.Let tell you one short philosophy," If you think you not really fast in learning all your tasks, make sure that your attitude is excellent in your work place" That simple?? yes it is. To make an excellent attitude being hypocrite is needed. You might hate your direct supervisor but please dont show it, dont show that you are desperate, just smile and be attentive. How to develop that kind of skill? Development is not in through reading your management books, it's just like you want to learn how to swim, no problem if your read from your books how to be a good swimmer but will it develop your swimming skill? I dont think so. If you want to be a good swimmer just throw your books away and jump right away to swimming pool , at first you might feel heavy to move your hands and foot forward but if you try and try it will be easier. Thats development. So situation will develop you, when you are in the difficult & unfriendly situation dont think that this is the end, think that this is the right swimming pool for me to learn. Hyprocite skill that i want you to develop is that an good attitude to be shown where actually in your heart you hate you direct supervisor or your co-workers who dont care to show you how to do the job. Not onlythis, but let me tell you to be saved from 3 months period as much as possible try to build relationship with the top level bos. For instance i work as an controller, my direct supervisor is Controlling Manager, and my bos's bos is CFO. Im not only focus to my direct supervisor but i build relationship to the CFO (my boss's boss) How? Good question. Try simple greet and attention. For instance when your CFO passed by you in the morning with his fancy tie or coat, and you say " nice tie sir". Just simple as that.From that you can start building your relationship with your top boss. Be patient to develop this skill. Once you master it, whatever situation might be in your work place you can always look calm, confident, but deadly.

- YES MAN -

I loved this movie, got useful lesson from it.

Say "yes" to everything is not good, but say "yes" when you really mean it. I think i picked the right movie as i start this year. Hopefully this will be my inspiration, and yours too :)
