El peso de la palabra

Hace un tiempo escribí esta frase genérica, adjunta a unas menciones, en una red social: “¿Qué razón hay en humillar al otro?”. Para mi sorpresa, recibí varios mensajes de personas que se dieron por aludidas por mi publicación. Esta circunstancia me hizo comprender el peso de las palabras, sobre todo las reveladas a un grupo de gente. Muchas veces nos sentimos legitimados a verbalizar el sentimiento al momento, pero si lo hacemos sin considerar dónde, a quién y por qué, puede resultar muy perjudicial y seguramente no conseguirá el objetivo buscado.

“Eres un inútil”, gritó un padre a su hijo al verle no sujetar el balón cuando lo tenía todo para anotar gol. “No vales para nada”. En ese momento, en el fragor del partido, aquel grito no tenía mayor trascendencia, era uno más del barullo generalizado.

Identifica tus recursos y triunfarás

Como hemos venido viendo anteriormente, la esencia del Interés Productivo es la propia persona que lo concibe como una posibilidad de avanzar. El poder de una iniciativa está dentro de la persona que lo promueve, nunca fuera. Lógicamente los elementos del entorno tienen vital importancia para suscitar un comportamiento favorable en los demás, pero el motor que debe mover ese engranaje está en el interior de las personas, en los recursos individuales. Es por este motivo tan crucial escudriñar en uno mismo y luego actuar hacia fuera. Muchas veces la propia necesidad de hacer algo o la acuciante presión de la realidad económica o psicológica, hacen que la persona pierda la visión de su fortaleza. Ese momento de incertidumbre hacia el devenir, donde nadie quiere quedar atrapado en el fracaso o en la miseria, suele crear una nebulosa que ciega la razón, impidiendo al individuo identificar sus mejores armas. “No te preocupes, tú tienes el power” me dijo alguien una vez. Tenía razón, pero estaba tan cegado por la necesidad, por la presión del entorno, por el miedo a fracasar que no lo veía.

Let's talk about skills

Does it mean the same thing to have talent to have skill? This question is asked by many, though few are right with the answer. For this reason, it is this one: Do companies prefer to work with talent or better one with more skill? Can we set up scenario similar results to one or the other? Let's talk about skills, not talent, as they are two completely different concepts, although extremely dependent.

In this same area, it is common to find statements about talented people who often fail because they have no skills, especially social. If we stop at this statement, we find the first difference.

Having ability comes from the knowledge gained is the ability to transform methods in creative actions, drawing instructions to improve performance in an area of work or creativity. Skills are developed through practice, through repeated actions of a process, and help to continuously improve operations, based on experience and knowledge received in the course of the activity itself.

A person with ability is able to leverage the strength of the body of knowledge and acquired habits, to improve performance in the workplace, which has nothing to do with talent, because it does not relate to an innate flow, but a factor acquired.

On the other hand, there are several scenarios skills and various skill levels. And if we go to companies, we note that many of their employees have the necessary skills and render properly if the area manager knows leverage them, placing them in the department where they can best perform.

We should also mention the destructive skills, those serving people to escape liability to pay the minimum or simulating offer maximum effort.

Therefore, in the workplace all depends on the ability of the company to train their employees in the skills needed to improve performance. Given that skills come from a stage of knowledge acquisition techniques to improve performance, it is important that the person receives the right to know the best methods that will help ultimately improve their skills orientations. Strengthening skills depends exclusively on knowledge management actions, and professional habits to act appropriately to the various fields of possibilities.

On the other hand, one should not forget that knowledge without practice becomes worthless if a company brings awareness to their employees but do not know to help them use this knowledge to benefit the production, it will have lost time teaching, since knowledge passive is useless.

Finally, as with any learning process, the result will be better or worse depending on the ability of managers to correct errors, but not penalizing gaps, but sponsoring process improvement, correcting the defects of an action and helping the worker to learn, update and expand knowledge in the work area. Unfortunately, nothing happens accidentally in business, everything depends on the willingness of the employer to undertake new actions seeking resource enhancements.

La tiranía de los clientes

Sin lugar a dudas, lo que más deja al descubierto esta crisis es la transformación de la aplicación profesional de las personas. Como ya hemos apuntado en varia ocasiones, actualmente es fácil encontrarse con trabajadores formados en un tramo profesional específico actuando en otro completamente ajeno a su sector o conocimientos. Pero esa es la realidad, todos nos respondemos a la demanda de los clientes.

Talk about talent

In a society characterized by values ​​set from competition or social traits, naturally arise great discussions on such fundamental issues as the economy, knowledge or talent. Well, let's talk about talent as much of the social structure, and economic, is based on the human potential for the ability of individuals. Unfortunately, as a result of ignorance or deliberately, many people assume the quality of talented when in fact they are not at all.

Therefore, we must begin by saying that a talented person is one who has natural abilities to perform actions that achieve higher than usual, so just highlighting the circle results in which it operates. That is, are outstanding individuals in exercise activities and offer high yields, provided that they act in areas consistent with their conditions.

However, not everything comes naturally in this area of ​​understanding or intelligence, because many talented people are anchored in mediocrity, because of an inability to follow its natural virtues such basic conditions as: 

Curiosity is a factor that opens the way to the wondrous land of productive actions. Without curiosity is not possible to pursue excellence or achieve an outstanding result in added value to existing elements. However, curiosity can develop new ideas, you can get better results, since it is a factor that pushes a person to enter uncharted paths and leads to the stage of the outstanding creativity. 

Work. Of course, an innate ability to develop new concepts dies in mediocrity if not accompanied by the will to work, to take prolonged effort intended to move forward despite the difficulties. Many times, when you have an innate ability, tend to fall into neglect, thinking that's enough to be able. But it is a great mistake to waste the opportunity to work a little harder to get stand out others. The talented must understand who is participating in a marathon to improve, in which he can choose to stay behind, where poor are left, so he will not be alone, or otherwise strive to be first and get the goal before anyone else. 

Consistency is the foundation of leadership is the ability to overcome moments of weakness and persevere to crystallize ideas or projects nonetheless. Being consistent is essential for great results because it allows the person to move continuously without stopping to surrender to the obstacles or difficulties. Persevering person will probably take longer to conceive a strategy, but achieve a much more balanced and more effective results due to continued thrust and the use of the inertia of the action.

For all this, it is important to think less about whether or not one is talented and more emphasis on achieving the goals, stopping at the difficulties. If a person has talent, will naturally end up leading the team that accompanies it, will manifest skills to negotiate the best resolutions, will present a high level of confidence in their actions, and will have no trouble adapting to new situations. So the question is: What are you? If you are, you do not need to proclaim earnestly, you have talent. Before you do, others will already have perceived.
