Develop a Support System

http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/develop-a-support-system/If you look at the life of any successful person you will see that it
took the help of a lot of people to get him there. No man can do it
all alone. Even the best atheletes of all time needed a support system
to help them to be successful.

You may be the best in the world at what you do, but what about those
things that you can’t do. You can’t do it all. In order for you to
maintain excellence in all things you need people with you who are
excellent in their own areas. Remember that any chain is only as
strong as it’s weakest link. Don’t lose yourself in the fact that you
are the top dog. You need people who will take care of all of the
minute details which may serve to interfere with your royal dogship.

Recognize the need for others and recognize the value of what they do.
We will look at the glamour positions and forget about the service
positions. You also need to let those underneath you know how much
that you appreciate their help. An appreciated person will work
harder for you. Especially if the appreciation is genuine.

Don’t forget where you come from either. A good leader must first be
a good follower. It would help you to appreciate your people more if
you go do their job with them every once in awhile. They will certainly
appreciate you for it.

No one has ever succeeded without the help of other people. You won’t
be the first. Many times the price of power is that we forget to
respect others. The lowest of the low can help you probably more than
you realize. Let me give you an example from my own personal life.
My wife and I once experienced a flat tire late at night on a long
road trip. Since it was dark and I didn’t have a flashlight the going
was slow. Many people passed us by that night. I remember two people
stopping to help us. They were both driving older vehicles which didn’t
seem as if they were going to last much longer. Yet none of the people
driving later model vehicles stopped to offer any assistance. The
poorer people could appreciate our predicament because I am sure that
they knew how it felt to be stranded late at night. Do you understand
whay I am driving at here? You need to appreciate what your helpers
go through for you.

The last person who stopped had to leave because he helped until he
had made himself late for work. He did give us his flashlight so that
I could see how to finish the job.

Develop a support system which is mutual. If you support them they
will support you. Start with your immediate family. Nurture their love
and appreciation and you may be surprised at how a valuable a resource
that they really can be.
