“You reduce some of this attitude and increase some of that,” he said.
For the 3rd time in a row, I asked him whether he had completed the task I had assigned him. Then he said, “Yes.” I was so happy that I thanked him three times in a row.
Then he said the above statement to me. He told me to reduce the happiness we get when someone does what we ask and increase trust in the people we ask to complete work.
I understood the whole point. Yes, I had the wrong attitude of not trusting people. It led me to complete every task myself, without giving anyone a reasonable time or trust to do so.
It was not correct. Also, I used to get a lot happier if someone did something I asked them to do. That was also wrong.
I understood that we need to trust people; we may think we are capable, but we can’t do everything alone.
We need teammates to complete tasks. We need to trust each of them. Then only – we will be able to bring results. Otherwise, we will end up doing everything alone, and the results will be delayed.
Also, being happy means satisfaction even in small things, which limits the impact of others.
We should appreciate people, but shouldn’t be completely satisfied with them. We must encourage them to work more efficiently. Doing this will increase their potential and help them grow.
So, start trusting more, reduce being satisfied, and encourage everyone around you.
