THINK or Go Wear a Paper Hat: Learned helplessness
Why do you suppose so many employees today have entitlement mentality and learned-helplessness?
I’m talking about the attitude that they think they are irreplaceable, indispensable and that they deserve to keep their job even with poor or lackluster performance.
I’m Ford Saeks and I’ve been self-employed most of my life. That comes with it’s own pros and cons, but as any entrepreneur knows, you have to be self-motivated and surround yourself with quality, capable employees and then lead them well for success. You also don’t go broke when you’re making a profit.
My comment about thinking or wearing a paper hat is not meant to insult those hard working fast-food employees. Every job or career is an opportunity for self-respect, to add value and earn money. But let’s face it. People wearing paper hats don’t have to be the sharpest tool in the shed or make too many higher-level decisions because they follow systems. Systems that have been designed so they don’t have to think that much, which is why they earn minimum wage or close to it.
My investment in my website overhaul is the best money I've spent on my business in years... I recommend them to anybody.
Creative, responsive, inclusive & fun to work with. Thank you for making this more than 'just another website, just another customer.'
Ford Saeks helped transform the entire image of our organization, and we couldn't be more excited about it!
...investing in your services has been the best investment I have made in years.
