A very good friend called me today, and we were chatting about the blog. Of course I try to keep the subjects focussed on the current issues, and try to highlight issues of concern in the world of safety and security. But, really no matter what your particular area of interest or expertise may be, we all strive toward reaching that place of personal satisfaction where you feel that you are making a difference in the peoples lives around you. It is YOU that makes that difference. Your attitude, your strength, your passion and understanding, all of these serve to enrich the environment that you are part of. Have you actually stopped to think of the impact you have on those around you? We really get bogged down in the day to day issues of survival, yet others may grasp just one small thing, something you said, something you did, that remains in their memory for a long time afterward.
These are the aspects of individuals that I wish received greater focus in some organisations I come into contact with. Leadership and good managment are NOT just the ability to delegate and give orders, It's really about convincing others that your energy and strength can be theirs, and that their lives can be enriched through drawing on what you offer. We see teachers, nurses, engineers and accountants, going to work, filling their day and often, trying to make a difference. To those special people who share their energy willingly, with patience and compassion, we need you.
Stay Safe
