A good time to visit the archives for: The Joy of Independence by Jan Bolick. This article contains six tips that will help managers get better results, better morale, better productivity.
Here’s an excerpt:
We crave it. We demand it. We fight for it.
We resent those who keep us from it.Sometimes we get it before we are ready and we flail or fail with consequences from trivial to tragic.
And then sometimes – we resent the ones who gave it to us too soon.
Or sometimes we get it before we are ready but also get helpful tools and support for managing the bumps without major consequences and are quickly rewarded and reinforced with YES! I did it! confidence building success.
Success breeding more success. Confidence breeding more confidence.
The thrill, the sense of freedom. The achievement. The recognition. The boost to morale. The readiness to take on even more and the responsibilities that go with it.
Ah – the joy of independence
It’s a wonderful thing to experience but difficult to attain. I have struggled through both sides of the battle, lived both sides of the consequences, suffered through all four sides of the resentment and have watched clients do the same.
In the process, I have found a few tools for successfully navigating to the more joyful side of independence. Here are six of them – written in office terms but easily transferable to your home.
