A portion of the proceeds from The People’s Games will be donated to the local recreation and parks departments in participating cities.
About The People’s Games http://www.PeoplesGames.com
THE PEOPLE’S GAMES is a new brand of sport in America. It is an original and unique concept which provides an opportunity for the common man to represent their city in sporting competition against rival cities. It’s an opportunity for real people…teachers, taxi drivers, policemen, janitors, waiters, etc…to live out their dream of playing in a big time sporting event, representing their family, neighborhood, and city in pursuit of the thrill of victory.
THE PEOPLE’S GAMES recaptures the way sports used to be…when it was about heart, passion, and teamwork…played by people of varying backgrounds, race, religion, and social status…in short, when people played for “the love of the game”, not for money or fame.
Unlike other competitions, players on a team must come from the city for which they play. THE PEOPLE’S GAMES are the antithesis of professional sports.

Dealing with Mediocre, Difficult & Brilliant People
Dealing with Mediocre, Difficult & Brilliant People
Dealing with Mediocre, Difficult & Brilliant people
“Dealing with people is probably the biggest problem you face, especially if you are in business. Yes, and that is also true if you are a housewife, architect or engineer.” – Dale Carnegie.
Dealing with people at work place has always been difficult and to get them work towards results has always been a daunting task for the managers. But this is precisely what the managers have been hired for. Every organization has people at different levels and in unison with the other departments converts their sectional / departmental goals into organizational goals. The people who are hired / recruited / selected come from different backgrounds, caste, creed, culture with a mind set and belief of their own. Human beings are not machines and they need an entirely a different software to deal with. In other words, human beings are imperfect and one should know how to deal with people who are imperfect. They are creatures of emotions and dealing with them requires enormous amount of man management skills and tons & tons of patience and perseverance. A particular word uttered by the HR might motivate or de-motivate depending upon the context in which it is being used. If an employee has decided not to really contribute anything significant on a given day, it is a challenge for the department of HR to make him understand and play the role for which he is being recruited. He has to diagnose, administer and remove the choke up points or blocks which prevent an incumbent from discharging his functions to his optimum level. An HR Manager is a Man Manager and to be a successful HR, he needs to passionately understand the entire gamut of people’s behavior pattern in their work place.
Thus, it is a challenge for the department of HR to maintain and get the best behavior patterns from all its employees and maintain / continue / upgrade / outlive the same consistently for years. Getting the best out of each and every employee is an acid test for any HR. If that is not easy it is not easy either to deal with people who are mediocre, difficult and brilliant people. Let us understand how to deal with these kinds of people in the work place.
Mediocre People
Every organization has a definite& distinct percentage of employees who can be termed as mediocre. They are extremely ordinary, average, second rate, middle of the road employees with a very minimal contribution coming out from them. The main job of a manager is to develop people and with that job in hand; he has to pull out some weeds, too.
How Mediocre People Affect the Workplace
Mediocre people affect the section / department’s productivity on all levels. Mediocre people waste valuable time and energy of others by not being focused. Ask yourself: Is this person wasting his time, other people’s time and the company’s time, money or resources? A mediocre person can diminish energy, enthusiasm and initiative in the workplace causing harm in the in the section / department. Poor communication in terms of oral and writing causes a lot of resentment amongst members. Mediocre people are everywhere. It’s better to understand and learn to cope up with them.
Understanding Mediocre People
Understand them and their limitations. Avoid conflicts and get the best out of them. As a manager, it is extremely essential to identify certain traits in mediocre people and learn ways to manage them without being distracted from your organizational goals. Knowing their limitations does not mean that he or she has nothing to contribute. Get them to contribute daily and regularly. Assign him job by knowing his strengths. Let the channel of communication be open and make sure that the mediocre employee feels at ease communicating about the problems on the job. Help him to gain the momentum.
How to Handle Mediocre People
Implement a system of constructive criticism so that the small problems can be addressed and corrected before they become major problems. Give feedback to these employees so that their progress can be monitored and changes or improvements if any can be encouraged. Respect can go a long way. Respect them as an employee of an organization. Reprimand them, correct them. Use firing as a last resort. Separate the problem from the person. Give positive feedback in public, but give reprimands in private.
Handle the mediocre people with a lot of care. Bring the best out of them. They are not liabilities but have their limitations. Help them, coach them, guide them to give their best which will set them to sail new path.
Difficult People
These are the kinds of people with a wide range of personality types, including some who are inconsiderate, inane, incorrigible, inappeasable, intransigent, indecent …… or even downright sleazy. In fact, success sometimes depends on your ability to work well with all of the above.
How Difficult People Affect the Workplace
Difficult people constantly talk and never listen. They often fail to keep commitments. Difficult people criticize anything that they did not create. Difficult people compete with you for power, privilege and the spotlight; some go way too far in courting the boss’s positive opinion – to your diminishment. Communication (especially when questions or problems arise) helps avoid the unrealistic expectations that can cause resentment. Difficult people deplete energy, depleted energy dampens enthusiasm, dampened enthusiasm decreases personal performance, decreased personal productivity diminishes organizational performance, diminished organizational performance destroys profits.
Understanding Difficult People
There are ten types of difficult people commonly found in the workplace: the Slave Driver, the Black Hole, the Minutiae Monster, the Busybody, the Recluse, the Bully, the Liar, the Outlaw, the Blamer-Complainer, and the Know-It-All. Learning to work effectively with a difficult boss or coworker can improve productivity in the work-place. Just because a person is “difficult,” doesn’t mean that he or she won’t have something to contribute. The Slave Driver. Someone who makes unreasonable demands on your time, resources, and attention. Don’t feel you have to immediately take on whatever the Slave Driver hands you. Focus on what is most important. The Black Hole. Someone who takes everything you can give and then asks for more. When dealing with the needy Black Hole, take the initiative, encourage moving ahead, bring him into the group, and build confidence. The Minutiae Monster. Someone who is inefficient, unfocussed, and obsessed with details. Send the minutiae monster the message that doing something in a reasonable amount of time is as important as doing it right. The Busybody. Someone who doesn’t respect personal and professional boundaries. Give the busybody productive activities that satisfy her need for interaction; assign her a research or reporting task to make efficient use of her natural curiosity. Recluse. Someone who is isolated and does not communicate with coworkers. Tread lightly with the recluse, who may be shy or lack social skills; usually the recluse does more than his share of work. The Bully. Someone who deliberately intimidates others. Divert a Bully’s energies elsewhere by giving him responsibility at which he can excel. Coordinal interactions and increased confidence with soothe a bully, making him less severe. The Liar. A person who deliberately breaks the rules and misleads you. If you suspect you are dealing with a Liar, don’t rely on your memory of incidents or statements; write everything down so that you have documentation when it is needed. The Outlaw. Someone who doesn’t play by the rules unless they’re his own. The outlaw’s questioning of authority might not necessarily be a bad thing; if her aim is to improve the status quo, encourage creativity, not compliance. The Blamer-Complainer. Someone who blames you and others for his mistakes. Acknowledge that mistakes are a fact of life, but reward problem solvers; doing so will encourage blamer-complainers to change. Use Blamer-Complainer’s critical eye to find holes in any documents or presentations that are being prepared. The Know-It-All. Someone who claims to know everything about everything. Work with the know-it all’s strengths by assigning him the job of creating a database, for example, which would play into his desire to be information central.
How to Handle Difficult People
Engage difficult employee in conversation, create a written covenant, schedule and conduct regular feedback and monitoring sessions, celebrate the accomplishment of short-term goals, repeat process until long-term goals have been achieved. Use firing as a last resort; use constructive confrontation to resolve-or even prevent-conflicts and build coalitions. Sometimes there is no other option left but termination. Be as diplomatic as possible to avoid any further confrontation in your workplace. Respect can go a long way. Sometimes a difficult employee is feeling disrespected, either by his coworkers or by his superiors, because of miscommunication. If the difficult person you face in the workplace is a boss or superior, try working your problems out diplomatically before moving ahead with a formal grievance process. Make sure you use good judgment and do not act upon your emotions. Remain level-headed and strong.
No one deserves to live or work in fear of anyone….. Saying bye-bye is the best revenge.
Brilliant People
They are the category of employees who are considered to be luminous, radiant, dazzling, sparkling, gleaming, shining and bright. These are the kinds of people who are termed to be gifted / talented and take a great pride in their accomplishments. These employees need to be handled very carefully, tactfully and thoughtfully lest they might punch big holes on you.
How Brilliant People Affect the Workplace
Brilliant people being an inspired section of people affect your productivity at all levels. They believe that efficiency x effectiveness = results. Brilliant people do not waste time but conserve time by focusing on the job from start to finish with minimum interruptions. Brilliant people have lots of energy, enthusiasm, initiative, drive and inspiration causing departmental success. They identify with people who exhibit the same attributes, characteristics and traits. The strength of the brilliant people has often been communication. They are great communicators and portray a very positive body language. The strength of the brilliant people is their ability to think out of box. They don’t dwell on to the problems but come out with solutions.
Understanding Brilliant People
As a manager, it is important to understand what makes a brilliant person tick. It is further important to identify the key attributes of these brilliant people and to learn ways to manage them. Learning to work effectively and efficiently with the brilliant boss or a coworker can be as difficult as or much more difficult than working with a difficult boss or a coworker as they have a distinct role to play in the form of results. Brilliant people are go getters. They possess technical skills, human skills and conceptual skills in right proportions. They believe in making decisions and are action oriented. They believe in upgrading their skills, knowledge and attitude on a regular basis and apply what has been learned. Being in the age of information era, they amass wealth of information which makes them an expert in the relevant field.
How to Handle Brilliant People
Adequate care has to be taken to handle brilliant people working in an organization. Their demands in terms of power, prestige, status, designation, pay packet has to be taken care of. The brilliance of the brilliant people has to be tapped, harnessed and put to optimum usage for the organization to flourish. Give them an assignment which will test his professional competence and do not involve him in any routine / mundane matters. Communicate clearly the roles which he has to play as an employee and set boundaries. His roles / functions should ideally match with the organizational goals. The Manager has to handle at times the arrogance, high handedness of these employees very tactfully.
Handling people is not easy but at the same time it is not difficult. An HR apart from engaging himself in routine functions must master the skills of handling all kinds of people working in an organization before he gets the designation of Manager – Human Resource.

How to connect with people
How to connect with people
How to connect with people
By Gerald Mohlabe,www.goaldrivenconsulting.com
It is so rewarding to know how to connect with people. It is true that people are the most important asset. Poet and author Ralf Waldo Emerson, asserted, “Assets make things possible, people make things happen.”
Connecting with people can make the difference in your leadership, in your family, in your business, in your vision, in your department or organization. Don’t ever underestimate the power of connecting with people. Former American president, Theodore Roosevelt saw the value of connecting with people and he remarked, “The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.”
Let me share with you ways that you can follow to connect with people.
Respect people
The fundamental requirement to connect with people is that you must respect them. Solid relationships start with respect. If there is no respect, then there is no relationship or connection. You can go anywhere in the world and you will find that no one connects to someone who does not respect him or her.
Respect is about valuing people as they are, not on the basis of their abilities. You respect the fact that they are normal human beings. When people feel valued and respected by you, they will have confidence in you and they will easily connect with you.
Respect for people is not determined by someone’s background, race, ethnicity, sexuality, education, achievements, affiliation, religion,culture, and nationality. But it is determined by the worth of having been made in the image of God. Respect people for who they are and they will appreciate it and get connected to you.
Show people that you genuinely care
Show people that you genuinely care by greeting, interacting and asking them how they are doing. Ask them how their family, kids, parents or spouse are doing. When they happen to be in an emotionally charged situation like death of the loved one or any kind of lose, offer your sincere support.
People connect easily with those who genuinely show that they care. The founder of the red cross, the late Mother Theresa said, “Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
Make people feel important
People want to feel recognized and important. The key to making people feel important is to appreciate them both privately and publicly whenever they do something good. Appreciation makes people feel like they are contributing something of value to the family, ministry, community, team, division, department, business or organization. It makes them feel important.
People will connect with those who sincerely appreciate their diligent contribution to the good course. If you want to connect with people, make them feel important and special.
Look for potential in people
Every person has potential. If you want to connect with people, look for potential in people. Successful people look at others with the eye to see the best that is in them. When you show people that you have identified the potential in them, they will see that you believe in their best. And they will connect with you.
When you look at people with the eye of finding potential in them, you put yourself in a situation to make a difference in their lives. Connect with people by looking for potential in them and by motivating and showing them how to bring it out.
Smile
Smile is the most brightening thing that brightens the atmosphere. Smile beautifies life. It is very attractive. It is inviting and it brings life and happiness. When somebody genuinely smiles at you, you get connected to him or her. Smile is a powerful force that enables one to connect with people. It makes one’s face shine with warmness.
Smiling at people when you communicate with them, gets them connected to you and your message. People enjoy being around people who express faith and hope in life through their smile. If you want to connect with people lighten up your face with a sincere smile.
Learn people’s names
A name to a person is his or her most important and sweetest sound. Learning people’s names is the most important thing you can ever do. When you call somebody by name, he or she will feel sweet and important inside and they will get connected to you.
Adjust the tone of your voice
The tone of your voice determines the atmosphere of your communication with people. J. A. Holmes said, “Ninety percent of the friction of daily life is caused by the wrong tone of voice.”If your tone is not warm, it will be hard for people to get connected to you. When your tone is warm when you communicate a particular message to people, they will act warmly toward you.
It is very important to learn how to adjust the tone of your voice in any given situation so that you don’t push people away when you must draw them closer to you. Don’t ever project a wrong tone in your interactions with people. Let the tone of your voice be right at all times.
Be a good listener
Listening is a powerful skill that enables people to connect with others. Leadership guru and author John C Maxwell said, ” The ability to skillfully listen is the foundation to building positive relationships with others.” Great people understand that being a good listener is the most valuable thing that leads to success in relationships.
When you listen to people with an intent to understand their message, frustrations, pain, hurt or their concern, you will get connected to them. Listening shows care and respect. Be a good listener and you will connect with people.
Embrace empathy
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in people’s shoes. It is the ability to one’s imagination to feel people’s pain, to experience what they are experiencing in order to understand what they are going through. Humanity theorist Carl Rogers said, “If you want to understand people, get into their phenomenal world, experience what they are experiencing and you will know how to communicate help to them.”
Empathy enables people to understand the pain, frustrations and the hurt that others are going through to an extent that they do something to help. When you are empathic, people will get connected to you because they will feel that you care and you see them as important. They will have confidence in you.
Be humble
Humble people always have a way of connecting with people. Humility is about the ability to subordinate yourself to proper principles, values and morals. When you are humble, you are not full of yourself. Humble people put the interests and needs of other people ahead of their personal interests and needs.
Benjamine Franklin said, “If you want to lose friends quickly, start bragging about yourself; if you want to make and keep friends, start bragging about others.” People get connected to those who are humble. If you want to be connected to people, humble yourself. Don’t allow pride to stand on your way of establishing strong relationships with people.
Conclusion
Connecting with people is the foundation for success in building great relationships. People are of a higher value and importance. They have the potential to add value to you if you can learn how to connect with them.
Happy journey in learning how to connect with people!
