Optimizing operational results while at the same time developing high employee morale are at the heart of the Fish! Philosophy, which is based on four principles, here is a closer look at the last two principles:
To be there for another person has a very powerful effect. Think about how good it feels when someone gives you his or her undivided attention, focusing on your needs and feelings as opposed to someone who is otherwise distracted during their interaction with you.
Even though listening is a big part of being there, it goes beyond that. All too often, when we are engaged in a conversation, our minds are focused on thinking of an adequate response to what the person is saying instead of giving them our complete attention. Another common thing is selective listening where we only hear what we want to hear. Being truly present means suspending judgment while you are listening. In order to have meaningful exchanges, it is critical to e there and be fully present, physically as well as with all your emotional and mental faculties.
Of the many things that determine the levels of success and happiness that a person is able to achieve in life, the foremost is attitude. Is is also the one factor that is most within your control.
We may have inherited a predisposition to a certain general attitude towards life from our parents or our past experiences; and we can either be subservient to external events, few of which we have any control over, or we can take charge of our own response. By using your mind, your ability to think, you become a creature of circumstances.
Choosing your attitude is about being aware of what your attitude is, and that it does affect you and others. Once you accept that you are the only one who is choosing your attitude at his moment, you can control it and respond to situations instead of reacting.
