During weekend shoppings,my little daughter-who is good in French,and visited many european countries with me-used to select my favourite varieties of cheese from many countries.This continued for many weeks,and i have finished most of the brands available here.one day ,after a shopping,she just wondered me by asking”Mom, what do you like most among all these types,that we use to buy?”
Actually, I was trying to get the different specialities in its own originality-each one is better than the previous one,in at least two three specifications,which is to be identified for later purchase. In short,which one is best,i cannot say as each one has its own splendour, fascination, taste and so appealed to me as ‘super’.Suddenly it occured to me,that each one of us living in different countries are also having so many ”GOODS” :qualities,usefullness,attitudes,cultures,manners,behavioral patterns,smell&color of Personality, abilities, charms, capacities, interests….
But what is that in an individual , will help to get it out of them?
Tried to name them-starting from the small Listening Skill, then,communication,creativity,innovative outlook,positivity,all powerfull EQ,on top of that the Cross Cultural Skills and Diversity&Inclusion skills.Each person we meet ,like the cheese,is a special gift and containing very valuable ‘Gems’of precious use for us,we only have to handle it positively.That means without the barrier of color,creed,country,big or small , the Goodness of people that we should identify,use and appreciate ,while dealing with people of different continents,as they do in Dubai.
To be a leader or manager,acceptable to system&employees alike OR even to be a GOOD employee,one should know the art of elucidating the ‘goods’-positive traits even if its in traces- from people around:boss,subordinates,friends,family members,parents,teachers,children………
Possible if one could’bridge’ the difference that exist between himself and the other,and it needs cultural competency alongwith diversity skills.
Of course having high Emotional Intelligence will be a real aid & asset,in addition to the above,for making people good-to feel good and to work in their ”flow” state of total ability !!
”Cheese is Good,whether from X or Y place,BUT WHO IS TASTING IT????
