Currently viewing the Pros & Cons.The kids off course love their Mom to be at home and taking care of them then staying at the Nursery since they adore her so much, not to mentioned they love her home cooked meals ..correction, WE love her home cooked meals :-) and she's great with the kids too. Our second daughter called her "SuperMOM" :-p
Will discuss again with her tonight and to go through the Pros & Cons and from there.. we shall decide.

6 tips in becoming Effective Manager

Salam,

Below are some tips which I've learnt thru a workshop I've attended recently.

Everyone has been given a paper to write down "What are the meaning of an effective Manager?"

This is what I've wrote:-

"Being an effective manager is all about people. A good manager get their work done through, with and by developing their people, know their people's talents, and take the time to get to know their people"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

Here are six ways to get started.

1)Examine your own knowledge. Sometimes, knowing what you don't know is the best place to start. Examine what you do and do not know about management. Think back to the experiences you had and managers you worked for. What worked in your past professional relationships, and what needed to be changed? You will probably find that you can pick out some of the good and bad traits of managers in your past and use this knowledge to your benefit.

2)Find a mentor. Another important early step to take is finding a mentor who has good leadership position in your workplace, someone who is not just doing the job, but doing it well. Make sure you are able to learn from someone who can teach you good habits.

3)Go back to school. Many organizations offer courses in management development. In addition to his organization, suggests your company to send you to a seminar. "These seminars are great places for a new manager," he says, adding that they cover topics such as how your role changes when you become a manager, how to delegate, and how to get your people on board.

4)Hit the books. Another way to take your management development into your own hands is by reading books on the subject. Such as What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, Good to Great by Jim Collins, It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy by D. Michael Abrashoff, and One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard.

5)Learn to listen and understand others. The secret to being successful in any management position is knowing how to relate to, communicate with and honestly evaluate your people. This part of management is the most challenging for professionals who find that they have gone from being friends with their coworkers to being in a position of authority. When it comes to establishing a relationship with a new team, it is important to be up front and honest, he says. In addition, take a real assessment of how your employees are performing, and communicate with them about their quality of work. This means not just accepting that the work is getting done, but requiring that it gets done right.

6)Put your people first. The bottom line about being a good manager is this: If your employees don't perform well, you don't perform well. Every good manager must learn how to train, support and motivate his or her employees. If you don't take the time to support your staff and ensure their needs are being met, all of your work will be useless. After all, "If you don't develop your people, you have nothing."

Cara-cara menjadi isteri kesayangan suami

1. Isteri yang cerdik

Bukan cerdik dari sudut akademik sahaja. Gulungan ijazah bukanlah kejayaan yang perlu anda tonjolkan untuk menjadi isteri dambaan suami. Isteri yang cerdik benar-benar mengenali siapa suaminya, tahu bagaimana mengambil hati suami di waktu sedih, pandai mengangkat suami pada pandangan orang lain, tidak hanya merajuk untuk mendapat perhatian dari suami. Wahai isteri-isteri anda sebenarnya mampu lakukan ini!

2.’Assistant’ dalam pengurusan kewangan keluarga

Jangan menjadi seorang isteri yang hobinya suka shopping aje. Anda akan membuat sumai pening. Lebih-lebih lagi jika budget kewangan suami anda adalah di luar kemampuannya. Sebagai seorang isteri andalah yang menjadi pembantu dalam perancangan ekonomi keluarga. Anda juga membantu jika anda bekerja. Tetapi bagaimana jika anda suri rumah sepenuh masa? Jika anda tidak berkemampuan untuk membantu meningkatkan ekonomi keluarga, biarlah sekurang-kurangnya anda menjadi pengurus yang bijak terhadap budget bulanan yang diberikan oleh suami anda.

3. Manager dalam segala hal

Suami diberikan kuasa untuk memimpin kerana suami lebih rasional dalam membuat keputusan. Tetapi tidak dapat menguruskan semua perkara tanpa adanya isteri. Maka andalah wahai isteri-isteri yang perlu menjadi ‘manager’. Makan pakai suami, anak-anak, kebersihan rumah, perbelanjaan rumah dan perkara-perkara kecil yang diperlukan dalam kehidupan berkeluarga tidak akan dapat diuruskan tanpa bantuan isteri. Anda perlu memahami hakikat ini kerana sekiranya anda mampu menguruskan semuanya dengan cekap dan baik maka sudah pasti apabila suami anda pulang dari bekerja, beliau akan memberikan senyuman yang sempurna kerana menghargai anda.

4. Selalu di belakang suami

Ramai isteri mengharapkan suami berada selalu di samping mereka. Tetapi mereka terlupa bahawa ramai suami lari dari isteri kerana isteri mereka tidak pernah berada di belakang mereka terlalu sibuk dengan urusan lain. Seorang isteri perlu menjadi penenang kepada suami, berikan suami kata-kata semangat dan dakapan mesra di saat emosi mereka kacau. Sekiranya anda mampu berbuat demikian, percayalah bahawa tidak akan ada wanita lain di mata suami anda. Berikan sokongan dan galakan walaupun mungkin ada perbezaan pada minat dan hobi anda berdua.

5. Menjaga perut suami dan anak-anak

Yang ini paling penting. Kalau mahukan kasih sayang lebih dari suami kena tahu apa masakan kegemaran suami. Walaupun mungkin masakan anda tidak sehebat masakan chef, tetapi hakikatnya suami tetap mahukan air tangan isterinya dalam menyediakan makanan. Tangan seorang isteri sudah tentu bukan sahaja menyediakan yang terbaik dalam menu untuk keluarganya, tetapi juga sudah pasti isteri yang hebat akan berdoa untuk setiap usaha menyediakan makan minum suaminya.

6. Pandai jaga diri

Isteri perlu pandai jaga diri dan family. Maklumlah mungkin ada ketikanya suami ‘out station’ kerana berkursus atau atas urusan kerja yang lain. Maka sudah tentu isteri yang pandai jaga diri dan famili akan memberikan kelegaan di hati suami.

7. Perunding imej

Kalau suami anda nampak handsome di pejabat, sebenarnya isterilah yang mendapat pujian. Terutama di pandangan mata orang-orang tua. Sebab itu isteri perlu tahu menjaga imej suami. Bila digelar sebagai perunding imej suami, maka isteri juga perlu lebih-lebih lagi pandai mengurus imej diri sendiri. Jangan hanya nampak cantik ketika berada di luar rumah, sedangkan ketika di rumah baju T-shirt dan kain batik menjadi pakaian utama. Cuba ubah situasi ini jika anda ingin menjadi isteri kesayanagan suami anda.

8. Menjaga keluarga mertua

Yang terakhir, jangan hanya menyayangi suami anda sahaja. Anda juag perlu menjaga hati semua ahli keluarga sebelah suami anda. Lebih -lebih laigi ibu mertua. Percayalah anda benar-benar menjadi dambaan suami apabila anda mengambil berat tentang sakit demam mertua anda. Anda menjaga mertua anda seperti ibu kandung sendiri. Kerana itu semua akan membuatkan suami anda rasa dihargai kerana anda menerima dirinya dan keluarganya.

Reviving your marriage

Salam it's December again..and as usual both of us received lots of Wedding Invitation.

Both of us were married in the month of December too :-)

Today N3 is an article which I came across while surfing the net. I have a friend who is now in a dilemma as she felt that her marriage is falling apart. She confided to me recently that it is so hard to communicate with her husband " Mr Z" without ending with a fight. Sometimes she said they're not in speaking term for days... Susah tu husband & wife tak communicate.

To my friend "Nxxx" banyak bersabar and berdoa semoga rumahtangga kalian diberkati dan berkekalan.. Amin.

HOW TO REVIVE YOUR MARRIAGE
It is very sad to see so many married couples end up in divorce. It is no exaggeration to say that millions of marriages break down every year.

One marriage counsellor observed regarding those marrying today: "One-quarter will end up in the divorce court, while another one-quarter will keep their marriages legally intact for a variety of reason, but will get little satisfaction from them."
No marriage is exempt. In fact, your marriage may be experiencing turmoil right now.

So, what can you do to revive your marriage? How can you make it healthy once more?

In order to revive your marriage you must first acknowledge that there is something wrong with your marriage.

This is something that many couples fail to do and with not doing so, they find it difficult to see how they can be helped.

In fact, a mistake that many make is that they tend to be unrealistic and so are their expectations toward their spouse. They are influenced by what they see in movies, read from books and television dramas that are far from real life.

When their dreams do not come true, they feel cheated, bitter and unsatisfied.
Mental and emotional strain plus the difference in upbringing of each partner contributes to disagreements about everything - money, in-laws and children.

Communication is the most vital factor if you wish to revive your marriage.

Set the mood to have a heart to heart talk with your spouse. Prepare beforehand what you want to say and the points you want to make so that you will be able to do this in a rational and calm way when you sit down together.

Make it an aim to discuss differences and not attack one another.

There is an old saying: "Be fast in listening, be slow in talking and be slower in anger."

Express to your spouse how you feel. Be honest and open and if you feel misunderstood say so. Try to let your partner finish what they are saying before you speak.

Also, recognise that part of reviving your marriage may require changes.

It is not uncommon to hear a wife complains of how her husband has changed by not being the same romantic guy he used to be.

Or a husband saying that his wife is not the same sweet girl she was to him.

So reviving your marriage may require you to spice things up. To help you realize any of your shortcomings, look at your photos before you got married. This can put you in mind of how you have changed. By doing this, you may see how much you have altered, and this will help you to know what changes you need to make.

Develop more warmth and intimacy to find more pleasure in each other's company with your spouse. Most importantly make time to be together..

It takes a lot of work to bring about and then continue a successful union. Couples can seek advice from self-help books or from a marriage counselor as long as that is what you both want to do.
