\"radio<\/a>If you are a radio program director, programme controller, or manager, there’s something you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n

People cannot read your mind.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some managers figure they don’t need to praise their staff because “they know I appreciate them.”<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nOh, really? If you don’t tell them, exactly how do they know?<\/span><\/p>\n

All through junior high school and high school I had a classmate named Janis. One of the nicest people I knew. <\/span><\/p>\n

We always ended up in the same homeroom together, so I saw her every weekday morning for 7 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

And because her last name started with a “P” and we were seated alphabetically, she usually sat right behind me in class.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nThe summer after we graduated from high school, I called her up and asked if she wanted to go to a movie with me. <\/span><\/p>\n

She said okay, and when I picked her she told me how surprised she was when I called…because she always thought I didn’t like her.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nI was flabbergasted! I couldn’t imagine anyone not liking Janis, and I asked whatever gave her that idea.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nShe said, “Well, whenever you’d come into class in the morning, you’d always be scowling. So I figured you didn’t like me.”<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nI always liked Janis. I always HATED mornings.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nAnd I assumed she just somehow magically “knew” that I was scowling at having to be awake before 9 o’clock and not at her.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\nTrust me: The other people in your radio station cannot read your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n
