James 3:1 NASB - The Tongue Is a Fire - Let not many of - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  •  
    All Jesus Followers responsibility before God as sharers/communicators/coaches/teachers is clearly stated in James 3:1 . When our sharing/communicating/teaching involves The Gospel, error actually incurs a curse according to Galatians 1:9 at Therefore, each Jesus Following communicator/coach/teacher must take responsibility for the information we transmit to ensure its integrity. More importantly, we are wise to be actively sceptical about the information we receive ...especially over the Internet where it's so easy to defraud and be defrauded. We ought to do the best we know how to check the facts, investigate the evidence, and evaluate all research for ourselves. Finally, we honour Jesus better when we regularly re-recommit to being rigorous, lifelong learners ourselves ...for it is only with knowledge that we can wisely & prayerfully evaluate the claims that we encounter.

How to Get a Raise When Budgets Are Tight - Peter Bregman - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • The formula is based on one simple premise: We can get more money when we demonstrate that we've added more value. And we can add more value when we spend the majority of our time focusing on the work that the most senior leaders in the organization consider valuable. That is almost always work that increases revenue or profits, either short-term or long-term.
  • Make sure that the majority of your effort moves the organization further in those areas.
  • stay on the same page about what's important and how it's impacting the organization.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • quantify the impact you're making
  • f your manager starts asking you to do things outside the top two or three things, push back and have a conversation about it
  • After about six months of this laser focus, you're ready to have another conversation with your manager to identify the impact you've had and prove that you've added tremendous value on the things that matter most.
  • That's good timing since most organizations are beginning to think through their departmental budgets and promotions around the six-month mark.
  • It's not a trick. It's in everyone's best interests.
  • even if it requires that you push back
  • ultimately you'll be more productive, your manager will be more productive, and the organization will be more productive.
  • That's money in the bank. It will make your job more secure and you more promotable.
  • During this year's compensation conversation, take whatever is given to you without negotiation.
  • There are always some things that are more important to do than other things. The problem is that most of us aren't clear about what those are,
  • Minimizing that noise is our opportunity
  • There's no question that we're all busier than ever before, but we often are not getting the most important things done.
  • The idea of immediate results is alluring.
  • It's the temptation of the lottery.
  • instant results are almost always unattainable.
  • It's not that I think people can't get raises right now. It's that if you haven't spent the last year laying the groundwork, it's highly unlikely that you'll be successful.
