~ People Will Be People ~

What I have done. I am not sure, I may have breached Thought, within my writings. There is not one person that I hate. Yet if my last two posts have caused some situation with the infrastructure of writing. Then I have. But I have never breached anyone in any manner. Actually I have done the opposite.

Last week in talking to an older gentleman that I work with one word stayed with me. People will be people.  As you have several people from all corners of the world that will get hung up on things.

Example:  With one property we are looking to change some things with renewal of some leases. There is a group of people that feel that they are being dealt with unjustfully. I have in particular four people that feel they are speaking for everyone. And yet they are not. The truth is that we are in the midst of making changes as we deem fit as owners of a property. And with each and every tenant we are meeting with them individually.
Yet there is always those that will make up some story and it goes on from one to another and some will actually believe that we, the acting Landlord are up to something.  I had one gentleman that was calling in to speak with the person I replaced, and he felt that he was going to surpass me go further with what his compliants.

I had him come in and talked to him and before anything I shook his hand and introduced myself. He got started with what we are doing, and then in the middle of it I indicated to him what we are doing and as well what he is doing.

As he was creating contempt with other tenants that had leases that were up for a renewal or to be terminated pending what we decided.  At the end of it, he said he was going to call head office. I said that if you wish to go ahead and quote me on everything that I have said as at the same time not only have you been creating rumours with people that are naive, but he was two months in arrears with his rent.  And I indicated that before he went barking up the wrong tree. Think twice - as in no manner do we wish to kill business, and people that have invested thier monies - we want to bring about business.

Thereafter I called my superior and indicated to him, he hired someone to deal with these matter and perhaps he never gave the autonomy to the two people prior to myself. And if he wishes to have a person that tends to things - he has to allow autonomy with the right people to carry out the job. Otherwise he might as well come place himself in the seat and deal with all things in each and every property - which is impossible.  It gave him time to think about things.

A leader is one that builds and entrusts the people that he or she hires. There is a thing called protocal and accountability. That come along with whom works with a leader. He thought about it and I am not sure that it entirely got through as he has placed himself in a crisis management situation. But sooner or later he will come to some conclusion.

Aside of work - today I had my teeth looked at, and I have to have 5 cavities done by this friday as I have had jaw pain for the last 5 months and the Dentist indicated that all my upper back five are triggering on nerve that is causing pain and lock jaw. So he placed me on tylenol 3 - till he fits me in on next Friday.

Life is good ! lol
