BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY

How to prepare list of evaluation? Prepare a list that is made up of simple things. This list should be prepared after every maximum and minimum 100 days of work. This will motivate you and restore confidence. Write down all the wrong doings in the last 100 days. Let’s get rid of those. Nail your pain points and say “OK, what needs to be done to make sure that does not happen again?”  This should be the major part of the list. Another significant part of the list is the personal growth stuff, which everybody must include on their list. You want to advance. You want to grow as a person. There are things you want to get better at. Analyse...

EVALUATION

Why does evaluation after 100 days? It works brilliantly because one can never be more than 100 days wrong as a company. You have got to allow time for people to feel the pain of getting something wrong. This pain is mandatory to feel because this proves a driving force to move ahead. When you create a competitive environment that has total transparency, you will not do mistakes twice. I hope all these genuine suggestions will work in one or other way. Good Luck! http://www.reddi.gov.on.ca/track_what.htmhttp://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/pardev/download/development/tcmanual_chapter7.pd...

LEADERSHIP SKILLS

I want to discuss the few but most important traits of a good leader. It will be helpful to lead a group of people. 1. One of the traits of a good leader is being able to build loyalty beyond reason, and getting people totally believing that something is possible and this is fundamental to leading a group of people. 2. Everybody wants to be led. Remember! Workers want to know two things.They want to know what they should be doing. They want to know that what they are doing. It is the complete responsibility of a leader to answer above two questions in open way. 3. Group leader must set up an environment in which his colleagues totally trust...

There comes time when they realise that they have become a "creature of habit".

CHILD RIGHT MOVEMENT "SAVE THE CHILDREN"

"Children are blocks on which culture of human rights are built"."As human beings, children are entitled to all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights".These are the commitments that are made by the high-ups of Pakistan. But ground reality paints a dismal picture with regard to the status of children and the efforts to change their lot.We are living in a country where majority of children do not enjoy the basic rights such as right to education, health and shelter. we see all around us, children are working in workshops, flower shops, tea shops, kiosks, departmental stores, restaurants, carpet factories, kilns factories etc. Means...

CHILDREN WHO NEVER RETURNED!

More than 500 children a year are gone missing in Pakistan. Young children are kidnapped and made them forcibly beggars, thief, pick picketers, domestic servants etc. They become the agents of drug mafia. Human trafficking is common and many lifted children are smuggled abroad as camel jockeys or camel kids. There are plenty of forms that show the violation of Children’s rights. CAUSES: There are no result oriented public awareness campaigns about treating children with respect. Those who mistreat children are never punished.

SLEEP WITHOUT STRESS

Now you can sleep without stress. You can defeat this enemy easily. The technique that i am going to share with all of you is very useful and you can get maximum results from this. One hour before going to sleep, you make a list of problems, issues that make you disturb. Next to each item write a solution or plan how can you resolve it. Say yourself,"I have got a plan and i will work on it tomorrow." Before going to bed, put this list of stressors outside your bed room. When you are ready for bed like other nights, thoughts of your problems begin to arise in your mind and you are unable to sleep. At that time, say yourself twice or thrice,"Oh...

TEACHER STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS

I have been lucky enough through out my academic life to have teachers experts in their fields and affable and benign in their attitudes and character. Teacher student relationship is beyond the boarders of sex type and age limit.This is an honest and pure relationship that should not be move towards in wrong directions. This is my belief. But reality is quite different. Two months ago, I joined a course of Computer where a male, young teacher was assigned to deliver the lectures to female students at a Women University. I keenly observed the behaviour of all the students during this course. I noticed that during the first day of class,many...

GOOD GRIEF

PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE NORMAL BEREAVEMENT WITH MAJOR DEPRESSION. Many people who experience completely normal grief, are being mislabeled as having a" PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEM". But reality is different. For instance, if somebody's spouse died two weeks ago and he feels sad, take less interest in life, have little appetite, can't sleep well and don't feel good to go to work etc. All these symptoms exactly match the symptoms of a Major Depressive Disorder as mentioned in D.S.M.5. It is not good to call normal griever "a sick." If a doctor labels him in hurry, it would be harder for griever to go back to normal life. HOW TO TREAT MOURNER: Almost...
