3 LAWS OF EXCEPTIONALITY (2)

Hello Dear Reader. In the first post on The 3 Laws of Exceptionality, I shared on the Law of Giving. In this post we will take on the second law. As a reminder, it is not what you know that really makes the difference but what you do with what you learn. I personally make conscious efforts to put into practice everything I learn immediately I leave the place of learning. That way, it gets built into my system and subconscious pretty faster because I am carrying it out with the enthusiasm I had when I learned it. If you allow the passion and energy to wane before you practice these laws, you may not get maximum results. You are the architect of your own destiny; I am just a guide and consultant. You are the builder, I am the observer. Guess what? I am just as busy building my own life as well. So you will be better off considering it a privilege to get a little of my attention since I am just as busy as you are. Before you get into reading the next law, if you missed my FREE E-book Gift in my last post, here is another opportunity to get it. Simply leave a comment about this post below, and be sure to include your e-mail address. You will receive your gift within 24 hours.

The Law of Obedience

True obedience is prompt and precise.

There are two concepts that try to discredit this law. They are partial obedience and delayed obedience. If I must lay things straight, the end does not justify the means. There are some things that are not to be rationalized. Let me give you a quick example: Suppose you are CEO of GE, and you tell your personal assistant “Sam, can you please get this cup of coffee off my table? I need to get down to work right away.” Sam responds that he will be right back to do what you have asked him to do; only that he just wants to deliver the files you handed to him earlier to the accounting department and HR. While Sam is away, your secretary walks in with a document for you to sign from the COO. Remembering that the cup of coffee is still on your table, you ask the secretary to get rid of it. She leaves the document before you, grabs the cup of coffee, wipes the table dry and heads out immediately. She returns within a few minutes to continue with the signing she earlier came in to do. While you are signing the document, Sam returns to execute the new instruction of getting the cup of coffee off your table only to realize that it’s been done already. Now tell me, who obeyed you? Sam or your secretary?

Obedience to God, authority figures, your intuition and your conscience – if it must count in your favor – must be prompt and precisely executed. What is instructed must not be incompletely executed nor should it be delayed for anything. We must learn to correctly discern what is important all the time, especially in the workplace. Partial obedience and delayed obedience are snags to experiencing the extraordinary results that should follow ever act of obedience. True obedience guarantees favor, strengthens reputation and enhances dependability. If you really want to obey, don’t delay and don’t rationalize. Do just what was instructed immediately.

SHIFT

Move. Adjust. Stir.

Just don’t stay in the same spot one moment longer.

If you believed that the world was going to end today, ushering in aliens from another planet into the earth, you surely are as disappointed as I am. I was really looking out for a glimpse of outer space. And like a psychopath said, I was looking forward to catching my alien pet too! lol.

Hey, wake up! The world won’t end just like that! Before you realize it, it will be 2013. You have a few days to do a few things that can make the New Year count for maximum good. I’m not talking about New Year resolutions, neither am I referring to New Year goals. This is my word to you: SHIFT!

Shift in these four directions:

1.       Shift from where you are. Don’t let the New Year catch you in the spot you currently occupy. Eleven days are enough to make some of progress. I know that the traditional practice by most people is to give up on the year once we are a few days to Christmas, but the truth remains that the year ends at 11:59:59 on December 31! Before you throw in the towel, let that moment arrive first. Give a few more shots; take a couple of extra attempts; try again. Whatever you do, ensure that you make progress – however little it may seem.

2.      Shift from what you’ve been doing. Doing the same thing guarantees the same results. Take a different approach. Adopt a practice you’ve hitherto neglected. Try something new. Make a shift in your habits; start forming new ones. You should know that habits can be formed and unformed. Stop what you have been doing that has brought you to where you are right now.

3.       Shift from how you have been thinking. Your thinking has attracted all that you see in your life today. If your experience will change in the coming year, then you must shift in your mind. Re-program your mind to conform to your dreams. Change your school of thought about your state of health, financial life and even your spirit.

4.      Shift from what you have been learning. You can never be more intelligent than the quality of your information sources. If your information sources are healthy, then you need to increase the quantity of what you learn. When you increase the quantity of what you learn, you need to be consistent in the art of learning. Who you learn from controls the outcome of your future. Take precaution in choosing what you read, who you listen to, and what you watch. Don’t forget that the power of the remote control is in the red button.

SHIFT...from where you are, from what you've been doing, from how you have been thinking...to how you ought to be.

DON'T HIRE COMPUTERS!

This is especially to CEOs but if you are an employee or an aspiring CEO reading this, you are buying yourself an advantage.

I have observed and studied the workplace for some time now and I have observed that most of the people in organizations are not any better than a computer. Before you smile about that statement, give me some paragraphs to tell you what a computer truly is.

Researchers have proved that the capacity of the human brain is the number one plus eight long pages of zeros! If your mental capacity is this infinite, why are you performing so poorly? Or why are your members of staff performing so below par? If you agree with me, you will acknowledge the fact that computers were manufactured by humans. And you will agree too that only a fraction of the human brain’s capacity was replicated into the computer.

What disqualifies a computer from getting hired?

•  Computers can’t think! It is incontestable to say that computers don’t think, or better still can’t think! Why? Because they just cannot, as well as animals cannot.
• Computers lack initiative. Computers function only with the input of a human mind. Computers cannot initiate processes on their own; they are created to process instructions that have been given to them. Same goes with many workplace people. 
•  Computers are not proactive. They stay “booted” idly waiting for the boss to dish the next instruction to them. If you are boss intending to shed your work load yet hire a computer, you have successfully added some bigger responsibility to the already burdensome work load you have.
• Computers are not resourceful. You cannot successfully delegate if you always delegate to a computer because you will have to come back for the report before you can get it; and better be sure that the instructions you gave are accurate. They never take a second look at what lies before them neither do they seek better ways of executing their tasks. It’s not their fault; they just aren’t wired to do so.

If you upgrade a computer, you increase their efficiency not their effectiveness. They only get better at being ineffective not better. The only way to convert a computer is to execute a total overhaul. That is change the motherboard! You need to overhaul their prevailing mindset into what makes an effective worker. This is what we call Mental Revolution; and it comes best through Coaching.

Coaching takes time to work out and it can be quite challenging especially when the “computer” in question doesn’t see any reasons why he should change. And mind you, it costs quite some. If you think your computers are inseparable from you, employ coaching. But ensure that subsequent hiring efforts do not land you more computers.

My best advice to you is: don’t hire computers!
