Correction, Fix Up and Try Again

By: M. Suyanto

When we were together my friends have been trying hard to market testing guidance the first time, but we can only 2 students. Many people who claim that this is a failure, but we only respond that not only match what we expect. Most of us with results that are inconsistent with expectations to do is stop trying again. Silent stunned by blaming the environment. Ways to address this failure to distinguish between successful people and those who fail. Successful people get up and tries again, while those who fail to fall asleep in that place and never rise again. 

With results in just 2 students, we do not give up, but rose again to try another strategy. The strategy we tried was to give a free three neighbors in the language of religion is charity. Nevertheless the three of them require to carry motorcycles, so when there are 6 motorcycles guidance consisting of 5 1 motorcycle and bicycle tutor to appear has been no activity. The next strategy is to open an office on the day of the week. "Pak Yanto. We open on Sundays yes "said Mr. Purdi. "Good idea. Usually people out of town to Yogya "I added. On the day week, we both showered in the morning, dressed unusually relaxed - relaxed. 

We open the office, while cleaning the room and tidy up the tables and chairs so space where bird registration and more orderly classes. A leader concurrently a Customer Service. Miracles happen, suddenly there are 14 students from Holy register and the first time in a single day to register 14 students. The higher the confidence of management, plus want to run other ideas. After the emergence of the idea to convene Try Out enter universities using its deliberations about a new model, namely the question of Integrated Science and Social Science. Try Out From marketing results go along with discussion of State Universities are producing students who follow the guidance of these tests a number of 62 students. 

The next idea is the Guidance Test "Collateral Received" the guidance of a test when no received at the State University does not pay as "collateral", because understanding of acceptable collateral received and secured differently. Secured received at PTN understanding must be received at PTN, PTN was collateral accepted in its understanding not necessarily accepted in the PTN, if not accepted in the PTN, do not pay tuition as collateral. So that we do not fuss provide classrooms, then the entry in the tests and taken the good ones from high school or turns out Favourites, so predictable, that the incoming PTN reached 92%. Incredible. Jump Primagama name exploded. But all of the failures in advance, by making a correction, fix yourself and come back to try again and finally just worked.

Failure That Are Not There

 By: M. Suyanto 

After having a positive mental attitude as the foundation to become entrepreneur, creating and trying to chase a dream, take a step with start a business without money, know the secrets of business inflated, then step The fourth is to accept failure as a lesson. Failure is a label that we often associate with an action that did not work and so applied, these labels make us say people who are not able or person failed. This decreases our enthusiasm to be successful.  

At the moment we are still small, the failure has no meaning, because we do not have the concept of "failure". If we have the concept of failure, then we do not will be able to speak, because we can only weep. If we want to drink mother's milk, then we just cry, the mother of us already know. When urinating, chills or hot enough to cry immediately responded by parents. Start a word which not clearly out of his mouth, although it is unclear both our parents are not consider that a failure, even the opposite is the success, they have been very happy, so that finally we can talk.  

Similarly, the bias is only sleep supine, prone, sitting, starting crawling, walking exercises with innumerable falls. People around do not sneer when he fell, not insults when crying in pain, but embraced, kissed, rocked, entertain and motivate people to learn to walk again with difficulty, but finally we can run. If the small time, we have the concept of "failure" then we will never be able to speak, walk, writing, reading and so forth. We are very fortunate and thankful to God have parents who do not teach the concept of "failure" as a kid. Indeed, the real failure is "no", only the results are not in accordance with what we want or failure is merely feedback to reach the success or failure is merely an information that we need and try to dig deeper so that we can utilize to success.  

My experience when I first taught by Grandma selling kedondong me, so I left early to sell kedodong school, then holding a newspaper and peddling kedondong over the newspaper. From 6 hours morning until 7am, when the bell was rung school admission, none I bought kedondong. Then I pack the merchandise I, kedondong with the newspaper as a base to sell, I include school backpacks. In our language, no one to buy is a "failure", but actually provide feedback or information, no one bought kedodong in the morning, for fear of eating kedodong if stomach pain or information that since early morning had breakfast, then it is full, and so forth. When break time came, I wares again. There are two little girls of my friend who bought the same class kedondong, probably felt sorry for me. "How Yan cost?" They asked. "Five rupiah can be three" I replied. "Diibuhi huh?" They ask for more. "Yes. Please "I replied. Two little girls who buy kedondong that's me. From there, Yanto was no longer sell small kedodong in the morning, he finally sold kedodong in the daytime or in the afternoon. Likewise in the business world, we can also using a concept which does not recognize such failures during childhood, then God willing we will succeed in managing the business.

The 5 C’s of Team Success

By Paul Rutter

Whether you work in a large company with thousands of employees or a small office with only two staff members, teamwork is vital for your organization’s success. Without teamwork, people drift off following their own agendas, allowing the company’s goals to stagnate. But when effective teamwork is in place, everyone directs their energies towards a single focus, and they typically achieve amazing results. But for many managers, the question is, how do you build a solid team of people who work well together and move the company forward? Even though a horde of business books preach teamwork principles, many managers still find themselves directing individuals and playing referee rather than leading one cohesive unit—one winning team. 

Fortunately, building a winning team isn’t as complicated as it often seems. If you’re ready to build a true team that’s geared for success, then all you need to do is follow the five C’s of teamwork.

1. Build Community – As a manager, you need to make sure everyone feels that they’re a part of the team. Realize that this process starts before a new person joins your team. For example, during the interview process, you can introduce qualified candidates to the other team members so they can get an idea of their potential new co-workers. When you hire someone, rather than just make an offer of employment, you can also explain what they can expect to encounter at your company—its culture, its values, its guiding principles. Once someone accepts an offer of employment, you can give him or her a welcome packet that details everything about the work environment and team expectations. Then, on the person’s first day, hook the new employee up with a “buddy” who can show the newbie around and help the person adapt. The more you can “bring someone into the fold,” the better he or she will adjust and feel a part of the group. Realize that the first two to four weeks of someone’s employment are critical for instilling that team spirit. If someone feels that they’re not a part of the team after the first four weeks, the person will likely leave.

2. Encourage Cooperation – To encourage a sense of teamwork, make sure everyone knows both the short- and long-term goals of the department and the company. Those people who have been at the company a long time may even have a say in the goals. At the very least, people need to have a say in the approach to meeting the goals. Even if you don’t enact someone’s suggestion, let people voice their opinions and really listen to what they have to say. When people know that they’re being heard (even if their suggestions cannot be enacted) they feel a greater sense of involvement in the company’s direction.

3. Support Coordination – Let each person know how he or she fits in to the company’s big picture. Detail what each person is responsible for and how that person’s actions and duties impact the company as a whole. Be sure that each person accepts the needed responsibilities of his or her job and is accountable for his or her actions. Everyone is there to do a particular job, so remind people of that fact and what their particular job is. A big part of coordination is making sure everyone is actually present to do his or her needed job. So in order to not hear excuses for why something didn’t get done, make sure you define to your team the unacceptable excuses for poor performance upfront. Obviously we all make mistakes and are

human, but we can’t allow people to repeat the same mistakes over and over and use the same excuses continually.

4. Promote Communication – If you want people to feel that they’re part of a team, then they need to be informed. Therefore, make sure everyone knows what’s going on that week, that month, or for that next project. Proper communication ensures that everyone is on the same page and working for the same goals. To encourage communication, have short meetings to bring everyone up to date. If possible, keep meetings to no longer than twenty minutes. Long meetings drain everyone’s energy and tax their attention spans. During these short meetings, make sure everyone has an opportunity to speak. This does not mean that you force everyone to speak; simply make it known that everyone has the opportunity to offer their perspective or voice their concerns.

5. Offer Continuous Coaching – When you coach people, either within departmental guidelines or within their particular job duties, you send a message that says, “You’re important.” Additionally, if someone has been at the company for a long time, you could coach that person for the future position he or she wants. Your team needs to know that coaching is available and that you promote from within. Why? Because people are willing to do more when they know training opportunities are available and that there’s room for advancement. Coaching creates a positive outlook for the team and your guidance helps your team meet goals. The more you train or coach people, the more they’ll meet goals and seek out more challenging assignments.

Team Success Starts with You No matter how large or small your team is, realize that teamwork rarely happens overnight. That’s why you need to consistently lead by example. That is, if you want to instill teamwork, you need to be willing to do whatever task you’re asking your staff to do. You also need to focus on the positive things people do to encourage more of it. So do the right things and acknowledge when others do things right. Before you know it, you’ll have a winning team that seamlessly works together, achieving amazing results that propel the company forward.
