MANAGEMENT LESSONS

LESSON ONE.
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LESSON TWO.
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy.

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.

"They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LESSON THREE.
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.

The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions."

The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."

And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up.

All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.

Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.

Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the boss, so the motion was passed.

All the other parts did all the work while the boss just sat and passed out the shit!

Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss any asshole will do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LESSON FOUR
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.

While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

Management Lessons:
1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. and when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT TIPS

1. Start Today.
Do something about your self-development today. Tomorrow, you can build on that.

2. Write down what you want to achieve.
Keep it brief – perhaps three outcomes. Monitor what happens. Don't feel bad if you modify your plan – life is about change. Whether you succeed or not, learn from the experience.

3. Learn from other .
Notice what other people do and learn from them. You can gain from their successes and their mistakes. Experience is a harsh teacher, but less so if it's someone else experience

4. Embrace change.
If people and ideas didn't change, we'd still be in the Stone Age.

5. Be responsibility.
Remember, you are responsible for your own development. If you don't want to bother, no one will?

6. Recognize your worth.
Think about how others benefit from what you do. If you develop yourself, those benefits will increase. Your self-development is for others as well as for you.

7. Think about resolutions.
Before you make a resolution, make sure you really want the change. If you don't,you won't keep it up, and then you'll think up lots of excuses and feel guilty.
Think of the excuses now. If they seem valid, you can decide now not to do it, and skip the guilt.

8. Challenge, not strain.
Set yourself goals that are just out of reach. If your reach for the impossible you are setting yourself up for failure. If you stick to what's easy you're denying yourself the triumph of achievement.

9. Accept some weaknesses.
We are all weak in some ways. We can be well balanced without being good at everything. If you're ham-fisted, don't try to make a career of painting Faberge eggs. There are plenty of other areas for self-development.

10. Keep at it.
There's no such thing as finished self-development. You can go on learning, changing and renewing for all of your life.

A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE TO DETECT A LIE BY READING EYE BODY LANGUAGE

If you ask a question to a right-handed person (majority of people), and he looks to the left in an upward direction, that means he is thinking or “visually constructing” an image in his mind.

If he looks to the right in an upward direction, he is recalling or “visually remembering” something that actually happened.

So let’s say you ask him, “Where were you when the child fell down?”
If he looks up to the left, he might be making up a story to cover the real incident.
If he looks up to the right, he might be recalling what actually happened (in reality).

This method may help you determine if you want to accept their explanation or not, while also taking into account other factors.

*Note that the meaning of these eye directions would have the reverse interpretation for a left-handed

HATI

Sabda Nabi s.a.w yang bermaksud: "Ingatlah, sesungghnya dalam diri manusia itu ada segumpal daging, jika daging itu baik, maka baiklah seluruh anggota badan itu, jika daging itu rosak, maka rosaklah seluruh jasad. Ketahuilah bahawa segumpal daging itu adalah hati" - HR. Bukhari


Berkata Imam Ghazali: "Hati adalah roh yang perlu dijaga akan kebaikannya kerana ianya sangat berpengaruh terhadap anggota yang lain."


Dari kedua-dua ungkapan diatas dapatlah disimpulkan bahwa hati ada pemimpin kepada tubuh manusia (rakyat). Sekiranya pemimpin itu baik, maka sekalian rakyatnya akan baik, begitu pula sebaliknya. Oleh itu hati perlu dijaga supaya tidak diserang oleh virus yang boleh merosakkannya.


Secara amnya hati manusia terbahagi kepada EMPAT karekter


1. Hati yang sentiasa bercahaya, terang berkilau kerana sentiasa berzikir kepada Allah, itulah hati orang mukmin.


2. Hati yang hitam dan gelap, ini merupakan hati orang kafirun.


3. Hati yang selalu tertutup dan dalam kegelapan, lupa mengingati Allah, ini adalah hati orang munafik.


4. Hati yang terkadang tertutup untuk mengingati Allah, ini adalah hati mukmin dan munafik.


Yang manakah karekter hati kita ?


Justru itu marikah sahabatku kita bersama berusaha untuk menghidupkan hati dengan selalu ingat kepada Allah (zikrullah)

Nabi bersabda yang bermaksud
"Seafdhal-afdhal zikir adalah zikir khofi (zikir hati)".


Wallahualam..

PETUNJUK UTAMA PRESTASI (PUP)

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (KPI)


Setiap hujung tahun atau awal tahun setaip pegawai kerajaan tanpa mengira pangkat dan jawatan akan sibuk menyediakan PUP masing2 untuk dihantar ke Ketua Jabatan bagi mendapat persetujuan, walau pun setetengah dan mungkin juga ramai pegawai tidak pun begitu faham akan kehendak PUP tersebut.


Apakah itu PUP?


Dengan bahasa yang mudah PUP adalah penetapan matlamat yang hendak dicapai pada tahun berikutnya (sekiranya ia disediakan pada hujung tahun sebelumnya) atau tahun semasa (sekiranya ia disediakan pada awal tahun) berasaskan kepada faktor2 tertentu. Hal ini amat difahami oleh setiap warga organisasi.


Dalam sibuk menyediakan KPP jabatan, pernahkah kita terfikir atau bertanya kepada diri kita sendiri,


“Apakah PUP saya terhadap Allah Subhanahuwata’ala, dan bagaimana untuk menyempunakanya dan apa pula kayu pengukurnya.”


Mampukah kita menjawab persoalan di atas. Yang pasti ianya amat rumit untuk dihuraikan. Bagaimanapun marilah kita lihat secara ringkas dari persepsi - 4I yang mana ia berkait antara satu sama lain, jika salah satu rosak semuanya akan rosak iaitu,


ILMU - Ilmu merupakan kunci kepada segala2nya, tanpa ilmu hidup adalah sia-sia. Justeru itu mencari dan meningkatkan ilmu amat penting kepada umat Islam semua.


IMAN - Iman pula merupakan manifestasi dari ilmu, tanpa ilmu kita gagal memahami sesuatu maka iman tidak akan terbentuk.


IBADAH - Ibadah pula ada manifestasi dari iman, dimana orang yang beriman akan sentiasa memantapkan iman mereka dengan beribadah dan beramal soleh.


IKHLAS - Ikhlas pula ada merupakan pelengkap kepada ketiga-tiga di atas, tanpa ikhlas ianya boleh rosak. Tidak ada apa yang perlu capai selain mardhatillah (keredhaan Allah).


Kesimpulannya dalam kita sibuk menyediakan PUP setiap tahun, jangan lupa untuk kita menyiapkan PUP yang akan dibawa bertemu dengan Allah.


Wallahualam
