In fact, I have a very good habit of how to spend free time effectively to stress free my mind and have a happy smile on my face.
So, today an interesting part happened in my day. Early
Morning, I had my bath, I did yoga, after yoga I finished my breakfast.
While I was checking my emails then I was reading
magazines in one page it was mentioned
“Saying No is an Art” - Employees have to be trained
for a better work environment like work and life balance.
Okay! This point has raised in my mind.
Is this really needed skill to learn - Saying “No”?
This is my actual doubt!

name called - HOW TO SAY NO?

There are 27 books which I found in Google Search. So,
employees need to read all the books to learn saying No????
HERE, IS MY CONCLUSION:
There is a concept called SIX THINKING HATS. By
using this concept, companies can test the employee skills or develop skills through
a puzzle.
Likewise, give them a 6-line paragraph tell employees
to solve and answer should be in 1 line. Whoever wins - They will get pen
drives, etc. where a company can cover it in miscellaneous expenses in company
accounts.
For example:
I live in Hyderabad, India. And I have to go to the
Electricity office to pay my current bill. My home is in Kukatpally. I have to
go to Ameerpet to pay my current bills.
To travel I may use a bike, car, bicycle, train, auto,
bus or on foot. I have 300 rupees in my pocket to travel. After returning home I
saved 250 rupees in my pocket.
Now, tell me – How much do I spend? How did I travel?
What is the solution? - Where I said No? Where I said
Yes?
Like these questions one can easily learn the art of
saying “No”?
Just say which book you will follow to learn saying No
or you will follow the puzzles that catch in your mind. Comment below.
