Well, at least I think the title is at least something that should make those who read it think… “Is this guy really thinking we should give a gift of IT?” Well yes actually I am…but perhaps not in the sense of giving in the sense that all folks might think. In this particular context…let’s let the “IT” just stand for, something used to represent a concept, thought, action, circumstance, idea, thing, person or animal….or something close to that.
Christmas season is certainly very meaningful to a multitude of people in a multitude of different ways. To some-- it represents the gift from God as in the birth of Jesus Christ into this world; to some it’s a strictly a gift giving time or a time to make big cash; to some it’s just another excuse to party; and to others it doesn’t mean much at all. Whatever your thoughts about the Christmas season, I’d ask you to consider a couple thoughts. The first is to consider giving…giving something, (preferably something positive), something that could help someone accomplish something in their lives. The second would be….just to enjoy “it.”
The gift of giving can be a motivating factor for those who enjoy watching people on the receiving end of the gift…certainly many parents could share pleasant stories of watching their children open gifts at Christmas. There seems to be a certain joy in that giving for most folks…the satisfaction of knowing (seeing in some cases) how warmly received your gift is/was. While my main point here is just to get you thinking about giving (giving of yourself in some cases) and in that mindset the gifts can be anything…my intent is also to stir up your thoughts about “what you can give.”
The “gift” you give could be anything…yes, it could be money or presents….or “it” could be something related to work. Did I just ruin it for you? I hope not, I hope you’ll read on and hear me out. Your gift this year will hopefully include some thoughts about what you could do differently at work, or perhaps even what you could do daily in your job that might be considered a “gift” by those receiving it. Maybe…your level of customer service is something that could be thought of in this case. Consider providing a level of customer service that those on the receiving end would feel like they just received the Christmas present they always wanted. Imagine how that would impact those folks…imagine if you will, how the perception of MDC IT would be affected…. Gosh, what a concept, customer feels great…and you feel good knowing what YOU did made them feel that way!!
I won’t harp on the idea of you giving a gift..back to work. I would ask that you at least consider the thought…and imagine how the workplace might change.
Regardless, I do hope that you, and those you care about, will experience the joy that this time of year can provide. I hope that you too are on the receiving end of a gift that will change your life or at least make it better…
Merry Christmas!
