Relationships, Inefficiency And Your Career
Some Of The Greatest Powers You Personally Have In Your Own Career And In Business Are Relationships Relationships are a powerful force that you can use to your advantage in your career. People often get hired and stay employed all due to their ability to connect with their employer, and develop strong relationships at the workplace.
I Used To Defend Companies When They Were Sued For… Employment discrimination, wrongful termination and so  forth.  I defended more of these cases than I can even remember; they are a dime a dozen. Generally, when people lose their jobs inside of organizations it is because they did not have solid relationships within the company, people did not like them, and so forth.
As employees protect each other and do their best to honor various relationships. It is for this reason that most companies generally cease to be competitive within the market, or go out of business altogether. In reality, draconian cutbacks, harsh management, cold and calculating number crunchers, are what ultimately save companies and organizations. At the same time, these sorts of actions and people are also typically the greatest enemy of relationships in organizations. As Any Business Grows, A  Protectionist Sentiment  Develops…
I Have Been Deeply Involved In The Legal Profession For Most Of My Career Back in the early 1980s, most law firms in the United States, and throughout the world, dealt with what was called the  lockstep  compensation system. In effect, this was a system of compensation wherein people were compensated more money for each year they worked inside their law firms, regardless of their productivity, the amount of business they generated and so forth.
The Idea Was That Older Attorneys Had Paid Their Dues… Simply by being there for the longest amount of time. Other law firms simply had compensation systems that were less formal, and might be decided through committees. In the latter cases, it was possible for the firm to determine individuals’ salaries based on the quality of their relationships with superiors.
Throughout the years I have employed numerous managers who I have given near complete discretion to make all sorts of hiring decisions without my involvement. In watching how these people have hired people, I have learned that people hire the kinds of people they like, relate to and want to spend time with outside of work. I have also seen this in most companies, firms and other organizations I have observed throughout the years. I Have Among The Most Hands-Off Management Styles You Can Imagine
Several Years Ago I Hired A Human Resources Director For Our Company… Who had experience working for a large multinational organization in a hiring capacity. On one of his first days of work, the two of us had lunch and spent some time together. While I am not sure how the topic was brought up, the man told me that he really liked thin women with giant breasts. I did not think much about it at the time; however, I did find it somewhat humorous, considering this fellow was an older man with a real  professorial  sort of demeanor. I filed this information away in the back of my head and forgot all about it.
I met with this man by phone and in person once a week, and during these meetings I told him about various people that the company needed to hire. The company was growing very quickly at the time, and this person was generally hiring several people per week. Each evening he would take home tons of résumés, review them and hire people the next day. Because our company was spread over three buildings in Pasadena, I did not meet, nor did I see, all of the people the guy was hiring. In addition, I was traveling a great deal, so I was not in the office as much as I would have liked to be.
At Some Point I Was In The Office And Looked Around And Realized That The Man Had Hired Nothing But… Thin women with large breasts. In addition, the more I watched this story unfold, the more I noticed that the women he had hired all seemed to  fawn  all over him, understanding that he liked feeling validated constantly by women.  Was this a bad thing? I am not sure. What I do know is that, from what I understood, all of the women were pretty good at their jobs–at least to begin with. As time went on, however, it turned out that a few of the women were not performing very well. One, for example, had spent the majority of her time cutting and pasting outfit combination ideas into a Word document, instead of working.
Getting A Job, Advancing In You Career, Getting Business, Making The Sale And More Is All About Your Relationships. The better relationships that we form, the better off we are. When you are being interviewed for a job, considered for a promotion and so forth, it often has more to do with the connection and quality of relationships you have with others than anything else. People want to work alongside those with whom they feel they have a connection–not necessarily with those who they perceive will do the best job.
One Of The Most Interesting Things About Job Interviews Is That Many Times There Is A  Favorite   For A Certain Job One of the most interesting things about job interviews is that many times there is a  favorite  for a certain job, even before everyone has had a chance to interview. That favorite could be someone that is a friend of the person making the hiring decision. Or it could be someone who made a great impression on the interviewer before you got to the interview. If you are interviewing after that person has interviewed, it means you have come into the interview at a distinct disadvantage, because the interviewer may have a sense of loyalty to the person they have already interviewed and favored. In this case, the person literally does not want to like you too much.
What ends up happening in these sorts of interviews is that a great deal of “professional formalities” generally occur, and you will notice that you are unable to make any sort of meaningful  connection  with your interviewer. This  clamming up  on the part of the interviewer is generally a very bad sign. In order to get a job, get business and reach your potential in anything, it is extremely important that you make a personal connection.
If you cannot connect with the people you want to hire you, or the people you want to do business with, then you are not going to have an easy time getting work. You need to break down the walls of professionalism between you and others and make that they relate to you, like you and feel a connection to you. There is nothing more important than this. A danger in business, in your career, and in your job search is  professionalism . Many people have a profound belief that they must be extremely professional in the business world, with employers and with others–at all times. While I am in no way against proper decorum, there is a real danger in acting too professional. If you cannot relate to people and build strong personal relationships with a company, Then you are generally not doing well.
A danger in business, in your career, and in your job search is  professionalism . Many people have a profound belief that they must be extremely professional in the business world, with employers and with others–at all times. While I am in no way against proper decorum, there is a real danger in acting too professional. This is because always being hyper-professional will keep others from being able to feel connected to you. If you cannot relate to people and build strong personal relationships with them, you are generally not going to do well. Relationships can be built in many ways, but they exert so much influence over our day-to-day careers and lives that without any sort of connection we are often quite lost. A Danger In Business, In Your Career, And
An employer’s lack of genuine interest in you makes it incredibly difficult for you to get the job, to get ahead and accomplish what you are seeking to accomplish. You need to be able to relate to people and connect with them at work, in interviews and so forth. The more connected you are, the better you will do.

Relationships Key to Career Success

  • 2. Some Of The Greatest Powers You Personally Have In Your Own Career And In Business Are Relationships Relationships are a powerful force that you can use to your advantage in your career. People often get hired and stay employed all due to their ability to connect with their employer, and develop strong relationships at the workplace.
  • 3. I Used To Defend Companies When They Were Sued For… Employment discrimination, wrongful termination and so forth. I defended more of these cases than I can even remember; they are a dime a dozen. Generally, when people lose their jobs inside of organizations it is because they did not have solid relationships within the company, people did not like them, and so forth.
  • 4. As employees protect each other and do their best to honor various relationships. It is for this reason that most companies generally cease to be competitive within the market, or go out of business altogether. In reality, draconian cutbacks, harsh management, cold and calculating number crunchers, are what ultimately save companies and organizations. At the same time, these sorts of actions and people are also typically the greatest enemy of relationships in organizations. As Any Business Grows, A Protectionist Sentiment Develops…
  • 5. I Have Been Deeply Involved In The Legal Profession For Most Of My Career Back in the early 1980s, most law firms in the United States, and throughout the world, dealt with what was called the lockstep compensation system. In effect, this was a system of compensation wherein people were compensated more money for each year they worked inside their law firms, regardless of their productivity, the amount of business they generated and so forth.
  • 6. The Idea Was That Older Attorneys Had Paid Their Dues… Simply by being there for the longest amount of time. Other law firms simply had compensation systems that were less formal, and might be decided through committees. In the latter cases, it was possible for the firm to determine individuals’ salaries based on the quality of their relationships with superiors.
  • 7. Throughout the years I have employed numerous managers who I have given near complete discretion to make all sorts of hiring decisions without my involvement. In watching how these people have hired people, I have learned that people hire the kinds of people they like, relate to and want to spend time with outside of work. I have also seen this in most companies, firms and other organizations I have observed throughout the years. I Have Among The Most Hands-Off Management Styles You Can Imagine
  • 8. Several Years Ago I Hired A Human Resources Director For Our Company… Who had experience working for a large multinational organization in a hiring capacity. On one of his first days of work, the two of us had lunch and spent some time together. While I am not sure how the topic was brought up, the man told me that he really liked thin women with giant breasts. I did not think much about it at the time; however, I did find it somewhat humorous, considering this fellow was an older man with a real professorial sort of demeanor. I filed this information away in the back of my head and forgot all about it.
  • 9. I met with this man by phone and in person once a week, and during these meetings I told him about various people that the company needed to hire. The company was growing very quickly at the time, and this person was generally hiring several people per week. Each evening he would take home tons of résumés, review them and hire people the next day. Because our company was spread over three buildings in Pasadena, I did not meet, nor did I see, all of the people the guy was hiring. In addition, I was traveling a great deal, so I was not in the office as much as I would have liked to be.
  • 10. At Some Point I Was In The Office And Looked Around And Realized That The Man Had Hired Nothing But… Thin women with large breasts. In addition, the more I watched this story unfold, the more I noticed that the women he had hired all seemed to fawn all over him, understanding that he liked feeling validated constantly by women. Was this a bad thing? I am not sure. What I do know is that, from what I understood, all of the women were pretty good at their jobs–at least to begin with. As time went on, however, it turned out that a few of the women were not performing very well. One, for example, had spent the majority of her time cutting and pasting outfit combination ideas into a Word document, instead of working.
  • 11. Getting A Job, Advancing In You Career, Getting Business, Making The Sale And More Is All About Your Relationships. The better relationships that we form, the better off we are. When you are being interviewed for a job, considered for a promotion and so forth, it often has more to do with the connection and quality of relationships you have with others than anything else. People want to work alongside those with whom they feel they have a connection–not necessarily with those who they perceive will do the best job.
  • 12. One Of The Most Interesting Things About Job Interviews Is That Many Times There Is A Favorite For A Certain Job One of the most interesting things about job interviews is that many times there is a favorite for a certain job, even before everyone has had a chance to interview. That favorite could be someone that is a friend of the person making the hiring decision. Or it could be someone who made a great impression on the interviewer before you got to the interview. If you are interviewing after that person has interviewed, it means you have come into the interview at a distinct disadvantage, because the interviewer may have a sense of loyalty to the person they have already interviewed and favored. In this case, the person literally does not want to like you too much.
  • 13. What ends up happening in these sorts of interviews is that a great deal of “professional formalities” generally occur, and you will notice that you are unable to make any sort of meaningful connection with your interviewer. This clamming up on the part of the interviewer is generally a very bad sign. In order to get a job, get business and reach your potential in anything, it is extremely important that you make a personal connection.
  • 14. If you cannot connect with the people you want to hire you, or the people you want to do business with, then you are not going to have an easy time getting work. You need to break down the walls of professionalism between you and others and make that they relate to you, like you and feel a connection to you. There is nothing more important than this. A danger in business, in your career, and in your job search is professionalism . Many people have a profound belief that they must be extremely professional in the business world, with employers and with others–at all times. While I am in no way against proper decorum, there is a real danger in acting too professional. If you cannot relate to people and build strong personal relationships with a company, Then you are generally not doing well.
  • 15. A danger in business, in your career, and in your job search is professionalism . Many people have a profound belief that they must be extremely professional in the business world, with employers and with others–at all times. While I am in no way against proper decorum, there is a real danger in acting too professional. This is because always being hyper-professional will keep others from being able to feel connected to you. If you cannot relate to people and build strong personal relationships with them, you are generally not going to do well. Relationships can be built in many ways, but they exert so much influence over our day-to-day careers and lives that without any sort of connection we are often quite lost. A Danger In Business, In Your Career, And
  • 16. An employer’s lack of genuine interest in you makes it incredibly difficult for you to get the job, to get ahead and accomplish what you are seeking to accomplish. You need to be able to relate to people and connect with them at work, in interviews and so forth. The more connected you are, the better you will do.
