Indonesia Fun Fact

When someone says yes, does he or she mean yes or no. Indonesia is a gracious culture that is polite. Wanting to be agreeable and never wanting to embarrass another, the native language Bahasa Indonesia has 12 words that "say yes but really mean no. Unless you are fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, using English or another language will not convey the correct message. Even with a correct translation, though the literal translation for these 12 words would be yes, the culture requires a polite, agreeable response. Since saying no to someone is impolite, don't assume a positive response means you have agreement.

Tips and Tricks How to Deal With Lady Bosses

"She can not be a boss. Too emotional."

"Boss girl was bummer. Acne. Mood can not predict."

"Why the hell take care of the details. The great affair is even too. Basic women!"

So my friends opinion of a female boss. Remarkably, the opinion is not only out of the mouth of the Adam, but also women themselves. They claim to be happy led by the boss man for various reasons including, not moody, rarely bring personal problems to the office, do not micromanage, easy going, lead based on skill, and so forth.

How in my own opinion? Well, I've worked with a female boss sucks but also worked with the fun. I admit that only one of those statements. Many women bosses micromanage. The rest, depending on the woman's own personality. The boss man is also a lot of really acting like a presumption against female boss.

The problem is just one. Men more than women occupy top positions. Until now, no women at the top, then she would be under the spotlight and eventually be compared with the many male boss. Period!

So how to deal with unpleasant female boss?

1. Do not take it personal

     Usually the boss lady moody and irritable, often remarks, comments or scolding that would offend. She will also install soffit line with what comes out of his mouth. Hey, the work is just one part of life. So, do not enter into the heart the words that come out of the mouth of our superiors.

2. Understand the boss

     As a subordinate, we should be able to understand the attitude of our superiors. Their attitude must be a reason, though often the reason is personal. Usually, bad attitude of the boss lady has something to do with her personal problems. Consider carefully how she walked, how his family background, success it with her life partner. If we understand that she has personal problems, plus a huge responsibility on the job, then maybe we can be more tolerant. We will feel more grateful that our conditions better than herself. In the end, we will smile proudly that we can better cope with personal problems so do not bring to the workplace.

     Most people try to work to please her superiors. But when faced with the boss lady sucks, trying to please attitude is the most wrong thing to do. Because usually, they have an extremely high standard. When we were not able to provide appropriate what she wants, then we will be frustrated. So when we work, work as well as possible for our work is not working as well as possible so that The Boss is happy with the results.

5. Speak up

     Than we are complaining about bicycling and how her leadership, delivered directly to our boss personally. Delivers what we do not like and how it affects your performance and other team members. But the condition persists because usually no one wants to call it. It takes courage to say it.

6. Quit

     If all that we have done to no avail and we can not accept the way of leadership, then we should think of other jobs.

Management and Administration Issues - A Shared Experience

Just wanted to share with you all, for me, this little experience who have served more than 20 years in organizational management issues and spiritual development involving government and private organizations. Often the problems shared with me is a problem between the top management, administration, management and support staff is as follows:

Management systems are often changed

Management system should be mastered by every employee to obtain an efficient and productive management. If management system for the organization often change, employees will experience job stress due to not understanding the concept and jurisdictions work accurately and clearly. Certainly the work will be done in a state of panic and do not know to whom to refer.

This often occurs because of failure or we fail to plan and implement a change that without thinking just because according to the instructions of their superiors. All moral rejected aside, for the sake of flutter or "yes boss" or "betulah boss". Does not apply to corporate governance.

Communication 'break down'

This is among the highest ranking problems that often occur in the organization. There are several reasons this problem occurs. Among the top too 'bossy' with their staff. They ignore the problems that occur at lower levels, not 'briefing assignments' well, and many give directions. The largest percentage is the boss just give orders to subordinates. Imagine how ineffective communication management in the organization? You certainly can imagine.

Try it out of the comfortable rooms and down to the operational level to investigate complaints and expressions of the staff. Sometimes the complaints it is a proposal that may be applicable. Only those who are involved in a field that knows the real issue.

Working position and qualifications significantly different

Among the complaints most often asked of me many staff who can not master their field of work very well. Imagine the potential in the field of IT but placed in financial management. How do you want to carry out your work? I'm not saying it is impossible to do. Only if there is no clear explanation of the scope of work will inevitably put pressure on the staff.

As another example, kakaitangan capacity was only able to carry out the work as a clerk but is responsible for implementing the work of an executive. For individuals who do not understand about the post Responsibility accepted as a sign of pretentious but its output remains the same as that given by a clerk. When kakitangfan failed to execute his duties as an executive, so easy menyalahkannya.Kita we actually have menganayaikan individual.

Less exposure and courses

Work is a way of claiming your output. But if many years of output required of an employee while he received less input, how the situation works? You will definitely stressful, less skilled and also lost the motivation to do the job every day. Many have complained to me. There are organizations that can not arrange training for their staff very well that some people work 10 years have not been attending training and job skills development, self-motivation.

Management on a "little Napoleon"

In other concept is the "little Napoleon" is "power hungry", where some indivisu hold its own by-laws in carrying out its duties and suppress the other employees or subordinates. Situation "shock myself" this must be subverted and specify only official orders only enforceable.

Or if you want to issue directives or reprimands make a "formal" writing that the decision or direction can be referred by the official to the higher or responsible.

Management by intimidation or fear (management by fear)

Staff frightened by threats or warnings oppressive and untrustworthy. It will also lead to dissatisfaction and consequently affect the productivity of the company.
