The most important skill I learned during my dozen years in the corporate world was trust. When I started, engine people, my early twenties, I try to micro manage their work. The more I try to be involved in every detail. That is I try to do their work on my own, the more distrust I showed, as the years went on. However, I made more and more employees, hundreds of people and are forced to relinquish control. Every good leader has this skill no single great leader who is also a great micro manager, trust isn't something that just happens, though. He must develop your trust so to do so, one must relinquish control. Simply like oh people will fail, they will lay down that's inevitable. You can let those failures, disappoint. You or you can. Let them help you grow, one failure is in the end of the world over time. The people who report- Billy succeed, will solidify the trust placed in them and the people who consistently fail will lose your trust altogether

no thy neighbour by rain agreements do you know your neighbours? I mean? Do you really know your neighbours? I live a kind development and wish there were roughly eighty units, and I really do do any of the people living there other than a few of their names and faces. I didn't value the relationships or potential relationships, My first moved into the neighbourhood. I looked at the situation like any, single bachelor. It was an opportunity to live in a nice place. Virtually main is free with a busy life. I enjoyed the thought of not spending hours on upkeep every week. Doing maenas work that be alone houses do regularly, or so I thought, after the a few months of living. There I realise there was a plethora of issues with a condo association. They hardly did. Anything around the place other than mow the grass and keep up on small odds and ends ruefully, exciting repairs, etc. With a tough economic I'm still not been able to add much value to the property. At one point I was

If Alec, everyone was being negative, including myself. After just a year of living there. I want to leave because of this, and after adopting a minimalist lifestyle, I especially want out of their realizing. I had this. Place all to myself. It was overwhelming. I spent many days frustrated and blame the board for the bickering and inability to manage the budget. This was their fault Now, mine, I fell into this. Why me stage, which only exacerbated my frustration, one of my neighbors, who was, the board sent on an email asking for everyone in the community to pitch in volunteer to do some upkeep around the community to make place a little nicer and increase moral. My first thought, when I saw this email was: why do I pay condo dues of five to do up key myself?

and then I realized that this attitude toward the board in a why me attitude was only worsening the situation. So do the opposite of what I wanted to do. I replied and said I when a work day rolled around there were six owners, including myself, out of roughly eighty who showed up to help. I did not let this discourage me because again, I was sick of feeling my frustration, I work my ass off and do what needed to be done for the day as we worked got to know five neighbours, and I realized they were just as frustrated as me. I also developed a good relationship with a board member who arranged the community work day. I felt better about the changes he was trying to make. It took the board about five years to sync the association, and after talking with him, I realize it's probably going to take a few years to repair the damage. Until I asked to know my neighbours. That day, I honestly thought everyone was out for themselves, which may still be the case with some of them, but they were just like me after we all spent the day with each other
