Democracy in our Workplace

Democracy behavior is rare in our life these days and most of us understand it wrong and miss its usages especially in the workplaces. You can find dictator or may find democratic dictator but no pure democratic, may that is related by our culture or traditions.

Just for your note; it is saying that the democratic dictator behavior is the most successful way in workplaces specific in our societies, for me I am not agree with this saying because the democratic dictator is still dictator J with mask of democratic but I believe that there are situations required from you to be dictator but using smart way to win who around you (use mask of democratic) – Democratic dictator == do what you want but with other agreements.

I read good article about the democracy
"http://www.startupnation.com/series/104/9121/5-advantages-democratic-workplace.htm" and its usage in workplace so I liked to summarize it to you as following:

The democracy helps the workplace/environment/companies to
- be a Talent Magnet
Most of talent people want to work where they feel appreciated and heard because they always have good ideas which are required to be discussed.

- Come Up With Smarter Ideas
As James Surowiecki writes, tap the wisdom of your crowd. Chances are the employees developing your products or services, fielding customer service calls or selling to clients have some great insights for your Next Big Idea – if only someone would listen.

- Work Fast
May the decision-making process, if it involves reaching a consensus, can take time.
But the time and attention paid to everyone’s point of view only makes the execution phase faster once the decision is made because When employees have a say and understand the “why” behind a decision the execution is faster, more efficient and devoid of resistance.

- Have Happier Employees
Being engaged, having a say, and being treated as an intelligent human being makes people happy – and creates a happier place to work as well.

- Boost the Bottom Line
Democracy means a leaner, faster, happier and more innovative company –factors which give the bottom line a boost.

Characteristics of successful and powerful Manager

The managers are the main part of your support team. The right manager can lead you to new levels of success in your career, however choosing the wrong one can be fatal to your growing career so we tried to summarize the main characteristics for successful Manager as following

The successful and powerful manager must be

1- A very organized person: Should know how many tasks there to accomplish and keep up with and how hard it can be. Without organization you will open the door for the career to become a mess.

2- A responsible Person: Should not oversee only everything you are doing, but also everything supports you and your work.

3- A multi-tasker Person: should organize, support, keep you happy and ease up life and career stress off of you so you can do what you do best.

4- A leader: should be Strong and wealthy technical leader over you to satisfy your need. If your manager is a weak leader your career is going to be headed for disaster.

5- A well-connected person: should have good communication skills, While many times none connected individuals have been able to lead careers to superstardom.

6- An ever-alert conscience: should be a far-removed from self-interest, nepotism and bias toward any group or party and not self-opinionated and should not utter coarse words or severe looks to grant rights to those who deserve them.

Finally good manager can take you far while bad management can lead your career into the ground as employee or employer. So give it great thought and consider all of these thoughts the next time you evaluate, hire and treat with Manager .

The Trust Value in Workplace

The Trust Value is one of the most important and required values in workplaces .





















Note:
This presentation is prepared by me :)

The real reason of success "Teamwork"

Teamwork is Cooperative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve a common goal or missions and as we all know that it is not used just in work but we can find it in all the needs of life.

Nowadays most of projects require that people work together, so teamwork has become an important concept everywhere. Effective teams are an intermediary goal towards getting good, sustainable results.

It is so deep field and I can got everything about it but there is two questions took my attention

How we apply the teamwork concept?

1- Listen to other people's ideas. When people are allowed to freely express their ideas, these initial ideas will produce other ideas.
2- Ask questions, interact, and discuss the objectives of the team.
3- Treat others with respect and to support their ideas.
4- All the members should trust each other.
5- Help one's coworkers, which is the general theme of teamwork.
6- Share with the team to create an environment of teamwork.
7- For a team to work effectively it is essential team members acquire communication skills and use effective communication channels between one another.
8- Be diplomat and tolerant.

There is a wonderful saying says "A Teamworker is the oil that keeps the machine running...the yeast that helps the dough rise. They are good listeners , diplomats, talented at smoothing over conflicts , help parties and understand each other without becoming confrontational" and unfortunately it is rarely in our society these days.

What are the laws of successful teamwork?

1- The Significance: One Is Too Small a Number to Achieve Greatness
2- The Big Picture: The Goal is More Important Than the Role
3- The Niche: All members Have a Place Where They Add the Most Value
4- The Great Challenge: As the Challenge Escalates, the Need for Teamwork Elevates
5- The Chain: The Strength of the Team Is Impacted by Its Weakest Link
6- The Bad Apple: Rotten Attitudes Ruin a Team
7- The Countability: Team-mates Must Be Able to Count on Each Other When It Counts
8- The Identity: Shared Values Define the Team
9- The Communication: Interaction Fuels Action

Amazing things could be accomplished today if we could get members and leaders to trust and commit to the teamwork process of joint problem solving, consensus decision making and shared leadership.

The lack of teamwork’ is blamed for such a wide variety of everyday business dilemmas -- dilemmas like late delivery, poor quality, a blown budget or poor customer management. That because the people in businesses do not understand the real meaning of teamwork concept.
