Sea Glass

Polished by time??

"Sea glass and beach glass are naturally weathered pieces of glass, which often have the appearance of tumbled stones. "Sea glass" is physically and chemically weathered glass found on beaches along bodies of salt water. Sea glass begins as normal shards of broken glass that are then persistently tumbled and ground until the sharp edges are smoothed and rounded. In this process, the glass loses its slick surface but gains a frosted appearance over many years. These weathering processes produce natural frosted glass. Sea glass takes 20 to 40 years, and sometimes as much as 100 to 200 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape." -- wikipedia "sea glass"

So what does being polished by time have to do with corporate musings? In order to answer that question, I would like to start with the definition of what "polished" means. If you think of a piece of sea glass that is washed by sand over time and polished - you will understand what my intention is with this blog. Polishing is accomplished by making something smooth as a result of being rubbed. It's the things in day-to-day life that "rub" and over time polish.

Focus on what you are good at doing.

The best leaders are not just talented or diplomatic , but they are also good at focusing on what they are good at doing. People have many skill sets in the business world . Some people are good at marketing but bad with numbers. Others are natural leaders, but they couldn't tell a marketing campaign from their own shadow. This is where the idea of focusing on what you are good at comes into play. It's not about being the best at everything or having ten different jobs on your resume - it's about focusing on what you are naturally talented in and making sure that you're good at it before taking over other areas of the business too. We are usually directed most strongly towards our strengths, whether we know them or not. Learning will come the easiest in the areas of our strengths.  Is it possible for you to be a good leader in every area? Of course not. It is simply not possible for anyone to be an expert in everything. If you try to be an expert in all aspects of y

What Are the Most Common Types of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace?

The following paragraphs will detail some of the more common types of sexual harassment in the workplace that can occur with anyone regardless of their gender, race, or ethnicity. Harassment is any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that has no acceptable reason. It can include but is not limited to, verbal comments, physical contact, and/or intercourse. Even though most companies do know that discrimination is bad for business, very few actually have policies that deal with sexual harassment. This is because it often goes unreported. Many employers are well aware that there is a problem with sexual harassment in the workplace. However, they do not want to take the risk of hiring someone who has been previously victimized. Therefore, they usually do not have a clear understanding of the issue. There are two main reasons why employers do not know how to handle sexual harassment in the workplace.

Why Are Some Managers Treating Employees Differently?

  Why are some managers treating employees worse than others? Is it because some employees think they deserve it, while others think the same thing? One reason that managers can be different from one another is because of their personality. Some personality types are very compassionate, while others tend to be more forceful and direct. These personality types need to know how to deal with employees in the same manner so that they can also understand how they would act if they were the boss. Some people may believe that managers are being unfair by treating employees in a different way. However, there is nothing that the manager can do, if the employee doesn't want to quit. The only thing a manager can do is learn how to make employees treat him or her in a way that is consistent with what other managers have done in the past. Some people believe that employees deserve a salary increase or a promotion because they have worked hard for the company. However, others will argue that it
