Hello Steemians, hope everyone is doing well!
In this post I will tell a story that I could experience in my life and that is very useful in all areas and relationships that I can imagine, I also believe that anywhere in the world or country.
Here at Steemit will be no different.
Twenty years ago I was and a meeting at a big company. On this day all the major shareholders and managers were meeting in a large meeting room.
I already owned a technology company and was together with a developer of my company to present our proposal to implement new software that would greatly help the productivity of the company, in addition the system that the company used was already very old and outdated for the time and I had a contract with this company to develop a new solution.
After 3 hours of presentation with everyone in the room began a series of questions about various aspects related to new software that would be developed.
I should clarify that we didn't have competitors because we already had the contract signed and we were in the meeting to present the solution before starting the development.
After many questions I noticed that only one manager didn't make any inquiry or observation and this made me feel intrigued.
But to my surprise I was not alone paying attention to this fact but the majority shareholder and why not say the owner of the company also paid attention that the manager had been quiet the entire period of the meeting.
At this point the owner of the company looked at the manager and asked:
Manager! Why are you quiet and asked no questions?
The manager replied: Can I?
The owner said: I think you could already because we are all here for this.
The manager who was an envious person and why not say nasty said: Because I think all this a stupid ideia and additionally this solution proposed by this guy is sucks and will not be good for the company.
For a few seconds that were like hours the room was now in a deep silence.
I looked at the owner who was about 65 years old, he rubbed his hand on his chin and told the manager:
Now I Understand! So I'd like you show to everyone what project you have for improving the company, what software you're going to develop, or what observations you have to improve on what we've seen here.
The manager replied:
I don't have a project, I'm not a technology developer but I think and already said everything I had to say and my opinion about what was show.
The company owner looked deep into the manager's eyes and said: "Great, then you can leave the meeting and go to the payroll department because you're fired".
The manager asked why he would be fired.
The owner said: Because I just want proactive people in my company and I'll give you some advice before you leave this room:
"IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO TALK OR ADD, YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS: SHUT UP OR SHOW SOMETHING BETTER" please leave this room.
Friends, I lived this History that was a lesson for the rest of my life.
In addition to the attitude demonstrated by the owner of the company I understood at that moment why he had reached the top and be the owner of that biggest company.
You must be thinking about how this meeting ended.
At the end of the meeting everyone in the room greeted each other, thanked each other for contributing to the debate and the software was developed and the company benefited from everything we did and me and the owner became great business partners.
I hope this has entered your hearts.
That's why I always say: Always keep your Mindset Positive.
Regards
