Five Ways of Being - Be Present
The fourth of James Autry's Ways of Being is to Be Present:
"Being present is not just being here or there, but having your whole self available at all times - available to yourself as you try to bring all your values to bear on the work at hand, and available to others as you respond to the problems and issues and challenges of team members, colleagues, managers, employees, vendors, and customers......
When others see you remaining centered and grounded in the midst of whatever perceived crisis is at hand - and there is usually one crisis on a regular bases in most workplaces - they will be more assured and confident in their own actions. Conversely, when they see you agitated, worried, stressed, short-tempered, and distracted, then they become the same way, only worse because they're worried that you might take it (whatever IT is) out on them. So be present."
