Losing your position in your company cannot only be frightening but very devastating to most people. I stumbled upon this young lady recently and found another common thread that we have discussed before. These people that lose their positions refuse to accept responsibility for their dilemma. This particular young person not only refuses to accept any responsibility but instead of being terminated from her position has been given a chance to be retrained so she can in fact possibly earn her way back into her previous position.

Everyone must remember that business MUST be a win-win situation for everyone involved. If you have a person that is not producing desired results there IS a reason. Business owners can only keep someone not producing for so long!

The first thing I would do is IMMEDIATELY change my attitude. Secondly, I would work very hard on whatever cost me my position to begin with. There is a simple formula to avoid losing your position EVEN if you are not producing. This company has another employee that has run into a slump of epic proportions, the difference is that even though he is working prime hours and is not producing he IS contributing in MANY other ways and has a tremendous attitude.

Even though he is not having the desired results in his personal production he is helping everyone else. More importantly his attitude is outstanding. Even facing the same retraining options the young lady is going through he has realized HE has a problem and in every way while he is anticipating his retraining he is making tremendous contributions to his team. Because of his attitude and his contributions this gentlemen will never have to fear losing his job.

Remember what “The Specialist” has told you before, it is your attitude not your aptitude that will determine your altitude in life!
