Rudy was a newly hired human resource
specialist in an information technology company. He was idealistic and had
fresh insights that he wants instituted to his new organization. Therefore, he
suggested to his manager on how they would specifically identify those who would be considered for future trainings and seminars. However, his suggestion was
rejected.
Rejection is part and parcel of your
organizational life. There would be instances that you would make suggestion
which to your mind is helpful for your department/organization. But more often
than not your suggestion/s will be rejected by your boss.
Would you take that rejection
personally? Of course not! You take rejection in your organization in stride.
Don’t take it personally otherwise you end up as a loser, take rejection as a
challenge to make your work better and to work harder.
Perhaps when your idea is rejected you
could silently say to yourself: “You rejected my input, so I move on without
any ill feeling against anyone." This is the correct attitude to make when your
input is rejected. You can also make a positive spin toward it by using it as
your motivation to work harder.
Rejection of your idea or input should
not stop you from giving your insightful input/s when there’s an opportunity to
do so. Why? This is for the reason that every input that you recommend is a
testament of your knowledge or insight.
However, if you notice that after a
year of giving insightful inputs your boss or your organization has not
considered any of it. Perhaps, it’s time to look for greener pastures in other
organizations who will make full use of your talents. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
