How a SMILE Helped Me Deal with 800 Employees
Thanks Gordon,
I had a job which I grew to hate. Managing 800 Employees. 24/7 job. Many of these folks HATED each other. It got so bad I had a Weekly meeting with most of them. Where I LISTENED. Crazy, but this Reduced FIGHTS by 90%. Plus I Got Janitors to VOLUNTEER to Test New cleaning Supplies. Then REPORT BACK to the GROUP. Had S*Alesmen as GUEST SPEAKERS. MY SMILE POINT. To Get Myself in a Higher Energy. HAPPY FRAME of Mind on the WAY to work. I Would SMILE. SMILE - SMILE - SMILE for 15 Minutes While DRIVING. It made all the difference. Everyone Else was Doom and GLOOM. Not a Little UNHappy. A LOT. PICTURE 800 EMPLOYEES Literally Racing Each other to be the FIRST ONES Down The road on the way home. But ME? I was Chipper and Cheerful. Streams of Problems and Trouble Just Rolled off me like water off a DUCKS BACK. I - A kid took at ax. Cut holes in his Apartment walls so he could run his Stereo wires from room to room. I SMILED. II - Another IDIOT Used a Staple Gun to Nail a Parachute to his Dorm Celling in concentric Circles. ME? I SMILED while I wrote up the Bill. III - Almost NIGHTLY - Some maROON in the boys dorm would KICK the water Fountain off the brick wall. Flood 3 Floors. (I Set Up a Warehouse System. Persuaded my boss to B*uy a Wet/Dry Vacuum. One Phone call and I had a Janitor come out. Get the Wet/Dry Vac out of the warehouse. And Clean up the flood. I STAYED HOME.) IV - Girls Heard GHOSTS - Demanded to be moved out of their Apartment. COUNTRY BOY. I heard BIRDS in the wall. ENTERTAINING. I found Pigeons that had fallen from a hole in the Roof Soffet down behind the Sheet Rock in the Kitchen wall. HAMMERED a Hole. Put on Gloves. GRABBED the Pigeons. NO MORE GHOSTS. UNTIL I had my Marketing Biz ready to JUMP over to. Then I Quit. TRY it. Somehow a SMILE - on your FACE impacts Your EMOTIONS. Simple but Really Powerful. Thanks, Glenn |
