justagirliegirl Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 There are certain people I like to include in my decisions about some things. I do because it usually involves them Problem is I will ask someone for what dates they like for a trip or to read an important document and I get zero response. Do you think it would be wise to warn them and say I need their input on things or I may make a decision that they may not like too well? Should I just say this is x, y, and z and this is what I am doing? How do you deal with people like that?
Curmudgeon Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Once you've asked and made the offer to include them in the decision-making process, iof they don't respond then just carry on without them. Remember, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." I wouldn't put my life and plans on hold for people who ignore them. They had their chance.
luvtoto Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I'm reminded of a new employee we have at work. She is trying to re-build the entire guts of the company. I am happy for her. Good for her! I, however, don't have her drive *anymore*... used to when I first started. Some people are just not as motivated as others. I mean, raises are not given in the company...at all...so why the freak bother. She sent me a three page memo the other day, that had tons of questions about improving the workplace. *yawn* Well, she's not my boss, and not in charge, so I just round filed it. I, also, am not much of a planner or organizer of events. You sound much better at it. I am sure it's frustrating to put up with people like me.
