Purpose (shared)

Let's suppose that you want to help an individual to self-develop in a multi-task technical environment (program or portfolio oriented), while he gets the results you want. Let's also suppose that the results you want are productivity, quality and volume. Now try this question: Why would the individual want to produce more volume with higher quality? In case he wants to do it, it will probably not be for your reasons, but for his reasons. So... telling him what you want may not be enough. You know what you want, why don't you ask him what he wants? Ask him about his own goals. And in doing so, show him that you care and you want to help him meet his goals, as they are consistent with yours. (win win) Fungus
