Standing Above The Rest by digitalrn

Standing Above The Rest

As a manager, part of my responsibility is to routinely evaluate staff performance, and as I look at these individuals, I try to identify their individual attributes. Though everyone's list is different, there are some who's list of attributes is far more impressive than others. Those are the ones who stand above the rest when it comes to quality work performance, and those are the ones that I would typically go to if I had something important that needed to be done. A little effort goes a long way when it comes to our own personal character and how others perceive us. As I thought about this, I began making a list of attributes that I thought were important, and then I did a little introspection, and asked myself, If I look for these attributes in others, do I possess them as well? I believe I need to be a living example.
How nice that you, as the reviewer, should be an example to the reviewees. All too often I'd been reviewed in the past by people who didn't get this concept.

When I look at this tree I've a feeling its lonely at the top. without your words I knew you have what it takes to be on the top..you know what to look for in people and I know you treat them with respect and you'll be a great example to them..

You seem like a very responsible reviewer. I've done it and it's hard. All we have to go on is our own experiences. I've also learned to let people do what they do best. That is when everyone excels. Whatever you decide will be appropriate and fair. :-)

Really pretty Rick. You are a kind and introspective man and I'm sure a good manager.

Beautiful pic! Your words are always so wise. I always look forward to visiting your project!!!

I love the experimental shots you are doing, and your words are so thoughtful, as always! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Rick.

Really powerful words. I think everyone could use a little introspection like that every now and then. The world would be a better place. Great job with the photo processing. The textures make it look like the sky was painted.

Great processing with your photo Rick. I also like your reasoning when performing evaluations.

This is beautiful Rick. I'm not sure how you processed it, but I love it.
I'm sure you measure up just based on the fact that you considered it. Many people only look at others behaviors and faults.

Very cool!

Perfectly titled.

That would be an interesting exercise, wouldn't it? Interesting photo, Rick. I like it

You have a great philosophy on life Rick - I enjoy reading your stories under your photos.
November 5th, 2011  
Nice curves and tones- great philosophy also. We all need to check in on ourselves as frequently as we judge others.

If only other managers would aspire to be like you the work place would be a whole lot nicer !!!

Like the shot and your attitude for a sometimes , tough part of your job.
November 5th, 2011  
Well put Rick.
November 5th, 2011  
This is so pretty Rick. Beautifully stated, well thought out and it sounds as though you are a wonderful manager.

Awesome shot.

Beautiful picture to illustrate your thoughts.
November 5th, 2011  
Very pretty shot - great colours and textures. It sounds like you would be a great boss to work for :)
November 5th, 2011  
That is a good point Rick. We can easily look to others without assessing ourselves. I know I do it with driving.... Love the textures in your shot.
November 5th, 2011

A very important concept to understand. Sounds like you put a lot of thought into it, which is VERY fortunate for your co-workers.

Very wise and thought provoking words... The shot is also very beautiful and coincides nicely with your thoughts ♥

wonderful shot and wonderful thoughts! You are a wise man!
November 8th, 2011  
Rick, I believe you are an excellent manager- because good leaders will often critique themselves as well as the ones they lead. The shot goes very well with your words.
