It is not comfortable or easy to address and take on the task of true Self-Improvement in the workplace.  Self-Improvement requires you to look closely, deeply at what YOU do and how YOU do it. Then you must identify not just that you need to be better…but also figure out how to be better!  Honesty and openness are a definite requirement, along with an open mind about options for Self-Improvement.  So…do you really consider Self-Improvement in its purest form?

This week’s TRIPLE III TIME message:  Self-Improvement: A “Common” Approach recommends everyone try a: “What Bugs You The Most?” fun journey to Self-Improvement.  First, I want everyone to think of a few of the main (common) issues that occur in the workplace and belong on a “What Bugs You The Most?” priority list.  What are they?  Let me offer a few (common) examples:

• Not getting a timely message returned (or at all) or call back.
• One person that always thinks they have a better or the best idea.
•  Endless debate.
• Being always told to wait a little longer.
• Being told NO but without a real reason why.

I am sure everyone could add to this list.  However, I am guessing most are asking:  What does this list have to do with MY Self-Improvement?

This Self-Improvement: A “Common” Approach message is designed to inform you that one of the greatest Self-Improvement activities is learning how to better handle these (common) types of “What Bugs You The Most?” issues!  Do you let them eat away at you for hours/days?  Or do you reconcile them in some timely way?  By taking A “Common” Approach to Self-Improvement in the workplace, honesty and openness can become easier, conflict becomes less likely and progress remains the standard.
