NO ONE MAN SHOW : Leading A Team To Collective Greatness

A Nobody Can Become Somebody One Day and A Somebody Can Become Nobody The Next. Nothing is Eternal.

A strong team must include individuals from all stages—those who are HIGHLY TALENTED, those who are learning and those just starting (Newbie).

Bringing everyone together is never a waste of resources. In fact, the more TALENTED individuals there are, the stronger the team becomes. The more who are willing to improve and learn, the stronger the team too and sooner or later they will be very TALENTED as well.

Some may question whether it is wasteful to group all the talented people together. But if they don’t work together, where else should they be? Should one talented person carry the entire load alone-- One Man Show? Well, for these mind-set of people, would you want to be A One Man Show too?

It is also important to include those who are still learning and Newbie. As True Leaders, they to train and guide everyone to grow together. Only then will the team become stronger.

As the team improves, the leader grows alongside them. A Great Leader takes pride in seeing others improve, while a Toxic Leader views everyone else as a stepping stone to personal success.

WORKPLACE : RESPECT

 

Certain people in this world should learn to have a sense of respect while talking. There are humans who are not even the boss who love to tell the employees that they should appreciate the company because they still have the job in an offensive manner. This kind of statements will cause the listener to feel even more offended.

First of all, employees did their responsibilities in their job, and that is the value that the company paid, which is the salary. It is about "Deal or No Deal". Furthermore, a company cannot run properly without employees. Therefore, it is beneficial to both parties.

While those who keep on asking others to appreciate this and that in an offensive manner, you are like labelling the employees as Beggars who are there begging for money and doing nothing. Also, you had devalued and wiped off all the efforts of the employees had done in their work.

This is such a DISRESPECTFUL ACT. The worst situation is that these people are not even the Boss and they are just another employees with 'slightly authority to talk a bit louder'.

If you really want to motivate employees, please do your homework and study properly about the various motivational theories, then apply them properly.

WORK IN HARMONY

I think somebody misunderstood what does it means as work in harmony as a team. Working in harmony is not about being a Yes-Man and keep quiet even disagree. This kind of attitude is not about working harmony but is to be a dictator, show the power and insult another person status.

Working in harmony is to gives words of encouragements, help each others and value each person different talent and knowledge. Respect decision and even if disagree, voice out properly and not using personal attack.

Furthermore, working in harmony is to voice out if certain issues or plan will bring bad impact to the team. Voice out is to protect the team before bad things happen.

Only Child = Unintended Child in The Family

 

A lot of people tend to think that ONLY CHILD is always being pampered by their family. Actually, there are Only Child who are actually unintended child in the family. The parents "created" the child accidentally due to failure of proper planning when having sex. That is why, there is no siblings, because the parents do not want a child at all.

The child will grow up being treated as unwanted even if the parents take care of them. Taking care of them is like having no choice and having to be responsible instead of showing love to the child.

The situation will be even worse when the parents relationship turns sour. The child will be always blamed by the parents. "If not because of you, we won't get married", "If not because of you, I would not want to be with your father/mother".

Actually, it is causing the child pain. In a long-run the child will feel guilty. Then fell useless. This will cause the child to turn into depression and will leads to suicidal thoughts.

Adults must accept responsibility for their own actions, and if they are not ready to have a child, they should try to control their sexual desire or engage in safe sex. Don't cause a human being to be born and suffer throughout their childhood.

A Case Study: Misuse of Technology and Grey Areas of Employment Act, 1955 (Malaysia's Labor Law) by Superiors/Companies

In the recent, as I had mentioned before in my previous posts, there are pros and cons in terms of technological advancements. In every workplace nowadays, there are WhatsApp groups while at work. Superiors will use this WhatsApp group to ask their subordinates to do certain tasks, especially for them, it is useful after office hours because they still can contact their subordinates at anytime and anywhere that they want.

Malaysia has Labor Law that protect employees in terms of working hours, holidays, overtime, wages, and other benefits. Unfortunately, there are certain grey areas in which these superiors can seek to avoid being sued.

The latest case study of the situation share to me by Person A (this is just one of it and Person A faced same situations for many times, especially during weekend) is as follows:-

This week is a long holiday due to the Deepavali Festival as this festive season falls on Monday. However, the Person A's superior , send the task in the WhatsApp group on Saturday.

In order not to go against the law and avoid being sued, this superior did not instruct Person A to do the tasks. However, this Task is required to be submitted on Tuesday morning.

Firstly, the superior is practicing an inconsiderate leadership style, failed to plan and could not manage the schedule properly. Based on this case study from Person A, the task had been started since last week and it is the superior itself that keeps on changing the contents many times, which has caused Person A have to do repeated job in carrying out the job. Each time the content changes, Person A gets to redo the parts.

Secondly, the superior gave a timeframe which is unreasonable. The task had to be submitted on Tuesday morning, which is the next working day. So, the Person A has to complete the job before that which means, during the weekend and the public holiday, Person A is required to do the work. This is the grey area of labor law. The superior did not break the law because the superior did not force the subordinate to work during weekends and public holidays. On the other hand, the superior gave an unreasonable timeframe.

It is not easy for Person A to sue the company because the company did not force the person to work. The unreasonable timeframe is too subjective to be brought to the court because, in the end, the company will have a lot of reasons to defend and mention that Person A unable to complete the tasks accordingly instead of reviewing the timeframe.

Person A had to request for overtime while doing the task during the weekend and public holiday instead of Person A's superior plan for the timeframe properly and follow the law for the overtime claim. And the overtime rate in this company had the maximum rate. For instance, if the max per day is RM45, then even if you work for 12 hours plus, it is still RM45.

Consequences of Lack of Work-Life Balance

This kind of practice in the company has affected the psychological well-being of employees. Those who are working, did not have proper time to really relax their minds, and their minds kept on thinking about their work and incoming messages in their company groups or emails.

Moreover, it had affected the well-being brought up in the family. Parents do not have proper time to educate and form their children's character in a healthy ways because most of the time is being utilised for work purposes. When children are brought up in an unhealthy environment with a lack of communication with their parents, this will affect their well-being and positive characteristics formation. In the long-run, this situation will affect the country's productivity as the future generations were not brought up in a healthy way during their childhood.

Recommendation

It is very difficult for employees to go against it. This is because a job is the source of income, and employees dare not offend their superiors and boss. Thus, the government should consider looking into these arising situations and amending the Labor Law that seeks to protect employees so that they have the right to rest and have their personal time.

A Case Study : Misuse of Managerial Level Empowerment in Workplace

As case study from one of my family members who is working in an Educational Institution which emphasize on Management, even in their branding.

Lately, out of the sudden, there is a new policy in his department that, all staff cannot clear the annual leave until the end of the important event. Due to some issues that my family member need to settle, he got to apply for annual leave. Unfortunately, it was rejected by his manager.

However, this case was handle ineffectively by his manager as follows:-

1. He was not being assigned with any responsibilities in related to the important event.

2. When further ask, the manager is unclear with what are suppose to be done for the event. The manager only replied "Not at this moment".

3. There are other staff whose annual leave was approved even though part of them are in progress of some of the task in related to this upcoming event.

In reviewing this case study:-

1. The manager manage the manpower ineffectively and less productive. There are manpower and the manager failed to fully utilize the resources of the manpower. This will caused wastage of manpower.

2. There are mismanagement and the new policy should only apply to those who are being assigned with the responsibilities. However, those who are involved, their annual leave were being approved. This is due to overly empower a person in the company of higher ranking to make the ultimate decision without proper check and balance.

3. The event is around the corner and as a manager, this manager has failed to set-up a proper organising committee to organise the event.

4. The manager failed to communicate properly and make it clear to all subordinate what are their responsibilities. This will caused communication breakdown between the manager and subordinate.

Further studies that could be conducted:-

What is Teamwork in a Company?

A lot of people, especially those at the decision maker level (Managerial Leadership). They view teamwork as being a Yes-Man to the top. Often there comes into scenarios whereby if anyone disagree and explain on their disagreement, this person will be view as someone who are without teamwork and trying to go against the whole team. This is totally a wrong perception and rather it is a dictatorship.

There are certain criteria that are required to practice in Teamwork.

1. The members should brainstorm the pros and cons of the issues.

2. From time to time to conduct assessments on the progress for further improvements and encourage all members to participate in the brainstorm and provide concrete suggestions.

3. The Top Position (Managerial Leader) is required to has the abilities to identify his/her team members' strength and weaknesses so can put the right person at the right positions and tasks.

4. At the end of the task, all team members to conduct evaluation the results for future reference and improvements.

5. The leader and team members have to create a sense of belongings feelings among all.

There are few steps for decision making and not based on the feelings and ultimate power from One Person who is holding the Top Position.

One of the effective ways is to apply the Rational Model (Uzonwanne, 2016) which includes the followings steps: -

1. Identifying the problem that requires a solution

2. Identifying the solution scenario

3. Carrying out a gap analysis

4. Gathering facts, options, and alternatives

5. Analysing option outcomes

6. Selecting best possible options

7. Implementing decision for solution and evaluate final outcome

Situational Leadership or practicing the other way round?

Situational Leadership is a leadership style that is flexible and leaders are able to switch between dictator/task oriented to democratic/employee oriented leader according to the changes of situations or via verse. It is more focused on the behaviors that a leader should adapt based on followers' behaviour. For this leadership style, is to adapt the best leadership style which is suitable for the situation and the followers respectively in order to achieve the objectives whether in a team and others.

I personally, if I am a leader, I will use this leadership style and in the CORRECT WAY.  

UNFORTUNATELY, there are so called leaders, adapt this kind of style but practice in a different ways. How would it be? Where normally, we called this kind of situation like playing politics and those who are working usually face the "office politics" culture.  

SO, certain so called "leader" adapt different leadership style based on:- 

1. See Who Is Behind The Back-Up Of The Particular Person

Whether in any situation, there are lucky person they are favor by the boss or someone higher ranking than the so called "leader" or their family members are someone important to the organization/company or is well-known in the community. So, those followers with backup, they enjoy doing whatever things that they want, they can complain and then the so called "leader" will be one-sided. So, instead of the so called "leader" lead the team or what so ever, these people took the advantages to conquer. Hence, the so called "leader", they are just a "doll" to be place there. Worst is that, those without backup are the victims of being bullied, accused and item to sacrifice when there are problem. Victims can choose to exit the team but what if it is in work? These victims need to earn for the living and support their family, so no choice got to face it. 

So , to those who have backup behind, this so called "leader" use Theory Y which the so called "leader" can go beyond it, like as if freaking practice positive view of human nature but actually, all about self-interest. 

Then those without backup as Theory X whereby heightened supervision and penalties. Surpassingly there is practice of  external rewards in this Theory X, but in these kind of so called "leader" attitude,  don't hope they will practice it. 

They just create in the situation that they are leader but actually, just want to protect those with backup by hock of crock, because in the end, they hope that those with backup could give them benefits. 

Therefore, those who have backup, you are lucky and those who are standalone, what I would say that May God Bless and Protect You. 

2. Personal Problem

It's normal for human to have emotional whether the emotion is good or bad/breakdown. However, this kind of so called "leader", when they are facing mental stress, they don't know how to manage it properly. Actually in Malaysia, there are a lot of counseling centres that provide professional guidance for those who are facing mental issues. Such as : -

(a) Befrienders : sam@befrienders.org.my / 03-76272929 ( https://www.befrienders.org.my/contact )

(b) Talian Kasih : 15999 

If anyone need mental support, please approach the right place. 

UNFORTUNATELY, these people does not want to approach them but use those other as Punching bag. So they will change to Autocratic Leadership. 

Autocratic Leadership style is about the leader control all of the decision and seldom get feedback and input from followers/team. Surpassingly, it does have the benefits if the leader is confident and experienced enough to take over control, then to be more focus and strict in handling certain followers who have "don't care much" attitude. 

The so called "leader" use this kind of style to redirect their negative emotion from themselves to other source. It ended up Displacement. This so called "leader" transfer their negative emotion to those they think they are weaker than them. In another word, transfer to those they think they are easier to be bullied. OF COURSE, this so called "leader" is still conscious, they don't dare to displace on those with backup (as mentioned above). 

Leader, this position sounded great, but how many can be a successful leader who are really practice proper leadership skill by putting their feelings and self-interest aside? In our life, we can find good leaders but also we will come across with those so called "leader". Just only they are been in the organization/company long enough and get promoted or very good in getting supports from those well-known and with backup, they are appointed as leader. 

3. Based On The How Strong Of The Other Team

This happen usually while dealing with the external team. In a organization/company, there are different departments and division which formed in order for them to be more focus on their particular roles to achieve the objectives. At certain projects, even though they work separately in a department of division, they have to collaborate and work together. So this kind of so called "leader" another attitude appear. They look at how strong are the other team, and they practice Double Standard. 

If that team is weak, the this so called "leader" will not provide much teamwork and attention and in another way round, going on their own way for them to stay in their own comfort zone and not to take any responsible. 

If that team is freaking strong and important to the organization/company, well.. this kind of so called "leader" will practice Yes Man. Even though shouldn't be that they, this so called "leader" will still Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

Moral of this issues, if you have your own team, make your team strong so that others dare not to bully your team. If not, your team will ended up being oppressed and look down by others. 

If we are the Boss or someone have the right the decide who is the next leader, we have to be very conscious with those that we want to promote them. Cannot be only depends on the service period. Even if they did something successful in the past, don't forget, nobody can be one man show. There are a lot unsung heroes that make it successful. Also, be clear whether these people, did they play tricks to gain your trust? Don't be easily trust words from people without thinking it deeper and logically. If you as boss promote a wrong leader, your whole organization/company, one day will be GONE CASE. Those sincere members/staff will leave one by one because they cannot stand the attitude of the so called "leader". Then left are those with hidden agenda and not sincere.

Is a Leader with the Sense of Humanity is Good or Bad?

It is good to be a leader who have the sense of Humanity instead of Authoritarian. However, it is such a disadvantages if your followers started to take you for granted. 

There are leaders who try to calm down their followers when there are arguments and disagreement in between them. They are acting just like "pain killer". When someone is having headache, the person is given pain killer so that the person will feel the pain. But what is the root cause? Is the issues solved and will not repeat? 

This is like those leaders who are following this kind of "leadership" style. They will start telling all sorts of teambuilding theories (as it others don't know about it) such as working as team, work in a harmony way, forgive each other and don't take things too seriously into the heart. However, this does not solve the issues. The bad attitude of the followers is still there and things crisis will be just repeating and after the crisis, same old traditional "leadership style" from this leader will be applied. 

So, another issues arise is that, there will be 2 groups. One who are continuously being drag to the crisis and the other is the Troublemaker continuously living in the comfort zone and take things for granted. So, usually the good followers will distance away, one by one as they started to disrespect this kind of leaders and feel uncomfortable living in the situation full of dirty tricks. 

If a person wish to act overly humanity, it would be better this person to be involved with all those social and welfare works to help and contribute the society instead of being a Leader that needs to manage various type of different attitude human. There are certain human, need to treat them in a harsh ways because they are totally cannot be assume as human. 

Instead of being a leader, this kind of people are making the team and situation getting worse.

Let's Face the Pandemic Together

We live in a life full of challenges. Especially during the current pandemic that strikes us. It is tiring at times, and I do have the feeling that I should rest. But, when I look at those who faced the situation even worse than me, I tell myself that I shouldn't give up in my life so easily.

Since everyone is facing challenges , different challenges, it is time for us to support each another to overcome the challenges and also the current pandemic situations

It is not always rich people who only can provide support. A lot of support does not need money. Moral support, mental support.... these just are just an act and not money. Sometimes, we just keep silent and listen to people to express their stress and problems that they are facing, we can help them to feel more comfortable after they speak out. Also, we can keep silent and not to easily get over emotional and throw temper is also one of the ways to support each other.

Due to stress, people started to throw their temper at home and even in work. All these can cause another mental distress to the 3rd party, the person who was targeted by the other person to throw their temper. This will cause a lot of misunderstanding and a breakdown of the relationship. So, let's support each other by just listening to others in telling out their problems.

Face The Truth Color of Human Mindset

Human should face the reality that no matter how good you are, you may not be appreciated or even being condemned. A single mistake can cause you in deep shit. People often got so upset until turned into depression and later on suicidal thoughts because they felt that they are not being appreciated, not being valued and then they start to feel hurt. Well, as long as you are aware that you had done the right thing, just move one. Ignore those people who does not appreciate you. Not worth it to be so upset because of those negative mindset.

老大还是替死鬼

以前在大学的时候， 我认识的朋友都叫我“DAILOU”（老大）。听起来要想很有风度。其实做老大没有什么好。那时候在大学很不同。Assignments和Presentation时候， 老师问什么， 因为我是Group Leader，所谓的老大， 我也会向前回答问题。这个就是读书的时候。 那时候感觉不一样，大家都是同心同意。一起努力做到最好， 拿高分。

到你出来工作和面对真真的世界，什么鬼老大，group leader没有什么好骄傲。发生事都是，先是老大 “死”。最吐血就是，名叫老大，其实Position什么鬼Power都没有。

出来这个世界，如果没有Power， 然后别人爽爽给你的”老大“ 这个名字，记得， 马上拒绝。爽爽叫叫一下，然后，变成当你的责任是老大。什么鬼都是你当，可是什么好都得不到，只得到哪些不好的东西。

有不好的事情发生的时候， 很多人就是。。。。。。 静静。。。 给你一个人去死。。 真的。。 那时候， 你真的可以看到什么是“沉默是金”，沉默让你死而已。

这样是老大还是替死鬼？ 到最后”死了“都不懂发生什么事

Vocational Skill : Aim into an Educational Goal

Someone asked me the other day, Is Vocational Skill Important as one of the Aim in Education Goal.. Well... below are my opinion about it...... 

Vocational skill is an important aim into an educational goal to improve the learning curve in related industries in order to produce highly skilled individuals that  improve quality of citizen life. It creates more employment opportunities and reduces the unemployment rate. Malaysia does not need to depend on foreign skilled workers and earning by locals can be better than white collar workers which helps in economic growth as cash flow remains within Malaysia. Those skilled employees are important to maintain the quality of the products in the related industry that could bring good impressions to locals and foreigners. This will also attract more foreign investors to invest in Malaysia due to the good quality. 

Schools need to provide awareness to the students about the importance of vocational skill needed in the job market and how certain inner interests (such as designing, crafting, cooking) that are trained and developed properly could be used for their future employment. This also exposes students directly to their dream job and has better job satisfaction that leads to better productivity, efficiency and motivation in the job. School Counsellors to conduct Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) on students to understand personalities better and search for the work environment that is similar to it and to target on students’ personalities that is similar to work environments that focus on vocational skills. 

Due to vocational skill needs to have a strong foundation to be built up from young, therefore the basics of the vocational needs to be implemented to students at their early stage of studies before gradually being taught to be more advanced in the skill. In order to educate vocational skills to students to be useful for their future job, applicable frameworks need to be conducted. The needs of the industry and additional factors need to be identified during the implementation of curricular. Surveys and interviews from companies to have the detailed info about the skill expectation from companies need to be collected so that in the future it will be easier for students to look and fit in to the skilled job. 

The curriculum in school can use the Behavioral-Systems-Family Model as part of the pedagogical model. Through mastery learning, the skills can be divided into smaller part for students to adapt and catch up. Then direct instruction to be used, teachers can let students watch videos about how others perform the skills and organize school visits to companies to provide real life experience on how the skills can be implemented in jobs for students to have a better understanding of the future job environment. Teachers needs feedback to the students on their performance by giving rewards for those who can perform such as organize small competitions and give a token of rewards to those who can perform well.  Students who are poorly performance, can punish them such as asking the students to stay or give extra homework to them. Proper continuous practice in their skill needs to be given to students so that they can master the skill and will not demotivate their interest in it.

Work From Home --- Protect Each Another During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic is getting serious around the world and a lot of medical teams are getting exhausted. The cases per-day are increasing, and in Malaysia, the daily cases are very high compared as before. A lot of medical team had been working around the clock without proper rest and clearing their annual leave. It is not just few months, but is since last year. Sometimes, looking at their condition in work, I feel that they are really a Hero. In the past, soldiers risk their life to protect the country and anything they will sacrificed in the war zone. Same as now, although it s not war zone but it is also similar to it. Medical Team risk their life, get expose to the COVID-19 and anytime, they can get infected and if really unlucky, it can take away their life. They all are really hero. SALUTE THEM!

In Malaysia, Government had been implementing MCO, CMCO, EMCO, RMCO... based on how the situations are. They did encourage company to let their employee to work from home. Well, it is quite disappointing when I notice some of the superiors or company, they have the mentality that those who work from home are having vacation. Even though those work from home, did carry out their responsibilities properly and the company still able to run, YET, they are view as "having vacation at home" by their superiors or bosses. This is a totally negative mindset. 

If company allow those employees who can work from home to work from home, at least there are lesser people outside. Most of them will be at home and if they want to have their meal, they can order delivery. The office will not be over-crowded and if there is any of the staff tested COVID-19 positive, at least those who have close-contact will be minimized. It had been years....... and everyone are aware that this COVID-19 is so dangerous. However, some companies, those who are holding high position, they still cannot accept the culture of work from home. It is even sad that those employees are being misunderstood by their superiors/bosses that they are actually having vacation at home. 

Why they cannot put aside this kind of negative thinking and think as whole..... for the sake of the country, to minimize the possible of getting infected by COVID19? Why can't they think of the positive side of working from home? As long as the employees are still able to carry out their job as normal, why not just come out with the policy of , who can work from home to work from home? 

I met with friends, telling me that they tried to explain to their superiors about working from home to minimize the risk, however, they are so unfortunate that being view by their superiors that they are trying to find excuses not to come to work. And worst still, it had affected their evaluation and they notice that their superiors started treat them differently, ever since. Such a heart-broken situation. While some try so hard to tell out sincerely about their concern, this is the treatment that they received. Misunderstanding, Negative Impact. 

There are people under phobia, until they dare not to step out of the house. Some even chose to resign  in order to avoid going to their office, whereby some office have positive cases. Some have to stay strong and to protect themselves by themselves because they seriously need the monthly income. I pray to God that , God to open up those people mindset..... let them understand, those who voice out, are sincere and not because they are lazy. I pray that the world will be back to normal without COVID-19 soon or at least, able to control by the vaccine. 

Steps to Prevent Fine RM10K For Violating SOP

I think recently in news and social media are flooded with news that people being fine RM10K for violating SOP. So, in my post, there are steps to prevent being fine. Sometimes, it is not that people purposely violate the SOP but maybe due to some unwanted issues at that moment. However, some are just too stubborn and purposely violate the SOP. Below are just my suggestion and sharing to prevent being FINE RM10K. It is not officially from Government or any authority agency. 

1. BRING EXTRA MASKS

Always prepare extra masks and bring along with you. Either carry along in your bag or put in your pocket. You will never know, all of the sudden, the side-band unattached from mask and your mask fall to the floor. I don't think so, it is hygiene to pick up from the floor and continue using it. 

2. PUT MASKS IN YOUR BAG/PURSE/CAR ALL OF THE TIME

It maybe all these while, we are use to not wearing mask and currently, you must wear. Sometimes, people might step out of their house without realizing that they had forgotten to wear the mask. So by putting masks in your bag/purse/car, you still have backup.

3. SCREENSHOT AFTER SCANNING MYSEJAHTERA

A lot of people after scan the MySejahtera, they will just close and keep their phone in their pocket. Have you even think, after you scan, it is 100% successfully record in the "history" or in the system? There bug in apps. Even normal apps that we are using, often there are issues with it. So, it will be safer, to SCREENSHOT once after you scan and the details of your log in shown. Who knows, all of the sudden, the authority came for spot-check and your apps have bug, then no report found? At least you have the proof in the screenshot. 

4. AVOID CHOOSING TO WRITE DOWN NAME

Not everyone own smartphone but it would be preferable to own a smartphone for the usage to scan MySejahtera. When given the choice to write down, not everyone can write alphabets by alphabets nicely like it was type by keyboard. We are not sure whether the handwriting is it really visible. Different people have different judgment. It's better to get a phone through installment payment than being fine RM10K. Moreover, who knows later someone tear off that page and your name is missing. 

5. BRING STRAW TO DRINK YOUR WATER

Put a straw in your water bottle, not necessary to be the same as the above. At least when you are feeling hot after walking outside and is thirsty, you can drink the water through the straw. Wear the mask and just sip the straw below and drink. Although now in Malaysia is having campaign --> "STRAWLESS" but in this current situation, we can choose either one. Just imagine, you just want to drink your bottle, then you pull your mask down and drink, not confirmed whether allow. Then you try to explain, not sure whether your explanation will be accepted or not. So better to prevent before it happens.

6. TAKE THIS MOMENT TO STOP SMOKING

Take this time to stop smoking. There are people want to smoke a cigarette because addicted to it but whenever they want to smoke, for sure got to pull the mask down. So, it will be very risky and will get fine in case caught not wearing mask in the public. In a shopping complex, you are not allow to smoke, so toilet is not a right place too. Unless, smokers have to enter an open air cafe that allow smoking, spend money for a drink to get a proper place to smoke. Well, better to save more money during this pandemic and all the best to smokers to try your best to stop smoking. 

7. AVOID ENTERING PREMISES THAT DID NOT FOLLLOW SOP

It is better not to enter premises or restaurant/cafe that are not following SOP. If you feel that those seats are not arrange with the 1meter distance, better not to enter. If being caught, the owner will get fine. Then for customers? Well, not sure whether will get fine too or not for not following SOP - Social Distancing. After all, we got the choice to choose to follow SOP and not to blindly follow those who do not follow SOP. 

8. WEAR YOUR MASK ONCE GET OFF FROM YOUR CHAIR

We may thought that, just taking those sauce from the other table is a short time while dinning and will not wear mask once got off from chair or maybe enter the toilet in the restaurant/cafe which is just besides. Better to keep wearing your mask once you got off from your chair. This is to avoid being fine or being said that you are not wearing mask in the public. You though that it is just a while and nearby but not for other. While you are sitting on your dinning table, you have having your meal and it is okay to take of your mask. (It is stupid and idiot if someone tell you that to eat also put on mask. With mask on, how to put food in the mouth?). Anyway, better to take-away and eat peacefully at home or in your own car. 

9. ALWAYS GET UPDATED WITH NEWS AND CURRENT CHANGES OF SOP

 

Read and listen to news everyday. No choice as from time to time there are new SOP. Even there are times, I, myself got mixed up with the SOP. 

10. WEAR MASK ONCE STEP OUR FROM YOUR GATE

Wear your mask even if you step out from your gate. Those who are staying in housing area, landed property, most of them, their rubbish bin will be at outside. Some like to deco outside their house with few pots of nice gardening (the area before entering the main gate). Whatever it is, that area is consider as common area and public. So put on your mask and don't think that is in front of your house and it's nothing wrong. 

11. AVOID GATHER AND CHATTING

All these while, we have friendly neighbors too. During evening, we used to chat with each other outside of the house, especially those landed property, housing area (Taman-Taman). In this current pandemic, we need to practice social distancing. So avoid gather outside and stay too close and chat. Better to just chat through online. A lot of apps could be used... WhatsApp, WeChat.. 

12 DARE TO TELL OFF THOSE WHO VIOLATE SOP

Shop owners have to be dared enough to tell off and chase away those who refused to follow SOP. Some customers might looks fierce or violence. It is better to worry of being SLAP with FINE than being SLAP by the CUSTOMER. If that Stubborn Idiot Customer dares to slap the shop owners that don't allow them in , then, shop owners have to report to the authority. Hope that public will stand together if some stubborn customers gone violence and hit those shop owners.  

Whatever it is, always follow SOP. If you do not want to be caught RM10K fine, follow the SOP and be smart enough once you step out of the house. If not, Stay at Home to avoid problems. Hopefully, companies allows their employees to Work from Home so they do not need to go out too often. 

Anyone who have any suggestions, do share at below comment. 

A LEADER SHOULD ALSO KNOW HOW TO DISCIPLINE THEIR FOLLOWERS

All these while, I though that Children who are disruptive in classroom, they need to be disciplined by the teachers in order to create a positive learning environment. Unfortunately, as I grown up, I notice that some adults need to be discipline as well. Even though as an Adult, should be mature enough to act professionally , whether in work or in community, but somehow a lot of people over-estimated the EQ of an Adult.

In case in an environment without law, how would the world would be? Or with law and without proper enforcement? In school , we call it as creating positive learning environment, but in Adult life is about "Creating Positive Social Environment", "Creating Positive Family Environment", "Creating Positive Working Environment", what else? Some adult are excellent in bring negative elements to everywhere they go and it will be spread around. Just like COVID19, there is no limit where it will go and who they will be infected.

There are certain types of leaders in an organization who failed to discipline their subordinates that had cause trouble and bringing in lots of negative impact to the departments or organization which had caused Negative Environment in Workplace. This kind of leaders had misunderstood what is the true meaning of Humanistic. They try to be a leader that is very "considerate". Unfortunately in a wrong way.

Moreover, they had wrong concept about what is the actual meaning of Rapport Building. They though that by just "respecting" what their subordinate behavior is and let them do whatever they want as long as they complete their work, it will be alright. This kind of misconception had caused a lot of negative elements happening in the whole department. 

As a leader/Managerial Level, usually they have years of working experiences. By just having experience in work will not make them as a good leader. They are nothing different than just an efficient and experienced employee. Holding a position as Manager and above, they should have the knowledge of what their job scope. Besides, leading the team or department to achieve the organization goals, they are responsible to manage their subordinates. 

In a working environment, not every moment that it is positive, teamwork , efficient and high productivity. There are a lot of behavior and mindset issues such as jealousy, backstab, argument and quarrel. As in Managerial Level, they should be clear with the pathway , how they become Manager and above. A lot of them act as if they are politicians and need the votes of their subordinates in order to secure in their position (protect their rice bowl). This kind of mindset is totally wrong because they will fail in managing their subordinate, especially  there are crisis about teamwork in between your subordinates will happen. 

This kind of managerial / leadership style, whenever their subordinates quarrel or backstab anyone, they just pretend to be nothing or just imaging that they ignore. Just like the 3 monkeys (one close the eyes, one close the mouth and one close the ears). So the subordinates that love to cause havoc, will continue to do so because there is no action taken against them to discipline them. The victims will be continues to be disturb by this kind of disruptive staff.

The overly disruptive staff, then will caused the organization unable to run smoothly due to too many of office politics. Other than that, this kind of leader will sooner or later cause those victims and 3rd party to lose respect towards them. Sometimes, it is may be good to not get involve in an argument but if you are a leader, be responsible with the position given to you. The leader should know that pro-long of disruptive behavior of a staff will cause problem to the organization. It will also affect the productivity and efficiency of the organization. An organization hire staff to work and be professional and not hiring staff to play office politics and cause havoc in the organization. 

As in Managerial Level, should be afraid to discipline your staff. If your staff go against you, there are hierarchy in the organization. After all, they have to follow your instruction. Moreover, your managerial level is promoted by the company and is not through election and voted by your subordinates. if this kind of leader couldn't discipline their followers, more and more those with positive attitude will resign and leave the company. Then what was leave are those disruptive behavioral staff.
