I agree! I will definitely need to revisit (and revisit, and revisit...) I continue to struggle with "who" I need to let go so, continued evaluation is necessary. Thanks for leading this Joe!!!

A Best Place to Work - Recap of The Arbinger Institute Webinar - 1 views
-
Joe Bennett on 25 Apr 16Reflecting on the personal impact of the material, Zeck comments, "I am much more aware of my role in relationships, my role in these dealings with other people, my role in collusions I had with other people. [Over time] it became much more difficult to pretend that I wasn't responsible, and that I didn't have accountability and that I wasn't playing a significant role in those relationships like I had in the past. I could always find ways to blame other people, I could always find ways to excuse my behavior, excuse the way I was relating to other people and drat-the Arbinger material has taken all of that away from me! I can no longer do that in good conscience."

I know for me it's exhausting to keep trying to get people in my world to change. I have to work at it pretty consistently and still don't get lasting results. I firmly believe that I deserve to be happy and am upset by others' lack of respect for me. Don't they know who I am, what I have accomplished, what I have done for them? Can't they see I am contributing over 100%?

Give without measure to other people what you most want from them. This life-altering shift frees us to significantly increase effectiveness in all our projects, whether personal or professional in nature
What if You Didn't Have to Worry About Yourself? : zenhabits - 1 views
-
Nearly every moment of every day of our entire lives (more than 1.2 billion seconds for me) is spent worrying about ourselves. We are preoccupied by concern about ourselves: am I doing the right thing, will I mess this up, will I be able to meet deadline, what do other people think of me, am I good enough, why is this happening to me, how can I get better, why don't people listen to me, why don't they treat me better, why can't they get out of my way, why is my body so fat, why don't things go my way, am I missing out on things? But what if we were freed of this worry about ourselves?

Why Leaders don't Lead… and "big boys and girls" don't follow | Arbinger - 3 views
-
"I do my job, I get my results, and no one has to chase me down or manage me. Well my employees are also 'big boys and girls' and should be able to get results: I pay them top salaries, they were hired because of their competence and expertise, I trust and expect them to get things done. But when things become critical, or go wrong, no one steps up and takes responsibility and delivers results! I don't know what to do!"

Think Outward Mindset Is Just the Golden Rule? You're Wrong. - 2 views
-
For many of us, the Golden Rule ("Treat others how you would like to be treated") is the ethical standard we were taught to live by.
On the surface, the Golden Rule seems to offer good guidance about how to interact with others to foster good relationships, mutual happiness, and general harmony. I don't want to be harmed, so I shouldn't harm others. I want people to be thoughtful towards me, so I should be thoughtful towards them.
However, there are two key ways the Golden Rule falls short.
