Morning Briefing-Does it bring positive energy?


Morning Briefing- Reading values,Reading tasks of everyone, highlighting that tasks that were completed on time and ones that were not completed on time. Bringing out things that needs urgent attention.
Well this is how i begin my day. This is the first thing that should happen everyday and everyone should take part in. This should last for 5-10 minutes.These are the rules of thumb.
I wonder what will it bring  to our behavior. Sometimes i see my colleagues yawning and yawning as if they don't want to listen to what others say. As the morning briefing finally turns out to a long meeting of 15-30 minutes.
I have seen my colleagues reading out the same sentence explaining a particular  values for more than 6 months. I always thinking whether this was the purpose of reading values??.
Sometimes i see my colleagues get annoyed when the tasks that are not completed is highlighted in-front of everyone. This ruins their mood and all the plans they have made for the day fails.
I have met colleagues who tries to skip morning briefings. As this is that worst 10 minutes that makes them sleepy when they are fully awake but they cant sleep. I asked my boss whether it is necessary for us to conduct morning briefings, he says YES! It is a company policy.
As per my opinion policies are made for the people, to make things effective and efficient. Is there anyway that we can change this culture?

I feel if we could change this morning briefing to evening briefing then more colleagues will be accepting to take it. As even if the things that are undone is discussed, they can go home , relax ,get ready to do it in the upcoming day and include them in the plans for the next day.

Chemical Reaction between men and women

The biggest difference in man and women is their appearance. With the physical appearance, there comes lots of other little factors that shows that we are completely different in everyway.

Getting an answer for  a question from men can be very difficult for women.As men take a time to think and then answers in one sentence where the women may not understand. I was thinking that this is all because i am fast and then my question is unimportant.
Moment is silence is something i consider as avoiding the person next to you. But now i know that men prefers it that way. There are alot of things  what we think is real/true is not as what we think. I realized after  reading the book why men don't listen and why women cant read maps by  Allan Pease and Barbara Pease.


Few sentences from it:
  • Why women can brush their teeth while walking and talking on various subjects while men find this very difficult to do?
  • Why 99 percent of all husbands hate shopping?
  • Why women can talk on phone for more than an hour without stopping and lack of topics?
