Challenge yourself to speak up, and avoid gossip

Not many people dare to speak up. Is it because of culture, the way of our upbringing? You need four things to avoid watercooler conversations or passive-aggressive texting.

  1. confidence
  2. intent
  3. delivery
  4. strive to seek a solution

The result will be a happier and more productive workplace that values openness and honesty.

Constructive Gossiping is Good for an Organisation

I was listening to BBC and the topic discussed was gossiping. And it was said that constructive gossiping can be turned into feedback and in turn will help for the improvement of an organisation. Can you believe it, they are promoting office gossip? Personally, I don’t think so. Let’s take a look at the meaning of gossip by the Cambridge Dictionary:

Gossip is conversation or reports about other people’s private lives that might be unkinddisapproving, or not true

Apparently, gossiping is considered as bad habit and how can we have constructive gossip? This is totally unacceptable.

Kepimpinan dari perspektif Islam

Sempena bulan Syaaban dan umat Islam akan menyambut bulan Ramadhan tidak lama lagi, tazkirah pada 31 Mac 2021, yang disampaikan oleh PM Dr Aminuddin Ruskam sangat memberi kesan. Antara intipati tazkirah beliau adalah:

  1. Elak prasangka dan bersangka buruk terhadap staf disekelilingnya. Berbaik sangka melahirkan perasaan yang gembira dan ceria dan menyebabkan persekitran kerja yang lebih kondusif.
  2. Pemimpin hendaklah menjadi contoh kepada staf lain, jangan menjadi seperti ketam .
