Re: Boot Culture

At first I read the title as blood culture anyways, I need ideas too on how to successfully butter someone up. Sometimes finding common interest and then talking about them doesn’t work, relating with the person doesn’t work either, I have tried talking about their kids, nope that didn’t work either. Maybe I should approach this person differently :hinna:

*** But if I had unlimited authority I would say that for a department to function certain responsibilites should be left to a neutral third party who is uninvolved with the daily interaction with staff so they can make unbiased and objective decisons like alloting work and duties fairly and equally. It was and is one of the biggest complaints in a department with more than one employee having similar postions so delegating things fairly becomes a chore and there is always bias.

Eliminates human bias and the need to get a "recommendation and butter someone to get what you want .

Fair For All , Transparent and Applicable !***

I agree with you, but most of the time that 3rd neutral party is not there or just can’t be there. Even if it is there, than people start buttering up that neutral party to influence their decisions.

Some times people just do it out of habit.

^that’s all true, but even after all that- there’ll still be some of it present and it’s human nature because everyone likes to be appreciated, whether they deserve it or not. I have only worked in US, but in three entirely different professions and its as prevalent as air. Goras do it, desis do it, chiptay do it, some do it more than others- not a race but depends more on the person. I was lucky to have worked with some very good colleagues, and even though I always saw it happening, it was more subtle than other places.

I guess when you do it right, it comes under good mannerisms?

Trust me its way worse than here in Pakistan. Few people are literally on their knees all the time.

I believe in good relationship with my subordinates and let my work speak for me. You don’t have to approach differently, just be yourself. But see what others have to say about it.
