Summary for October: Taking Responsibility for "Easy Mark" Solutions
You generated some interesting tips during October about how to fashion a life beyond being an "easy mark." You showed how to take personal responsibility when an "easy mark" situation comes into play while at work.
I believe your tips are particularly important for employers. They show you know how to handle sometimes difficult situations. Problem solving, particularly when it comes to relationships among employees, is highly prized today within companies and organizations.
With that kind of insight and experience, you’re valuable as an employee because you can save your supervisor time, money and effort. He or she won't have to handle issues that you, an employee with a disability, can personally resolve. And that expertise comes in handy in resolving issues which have nothing to do with disability as well.
I thank all of you who contributed your thoughts about this issue. I’ve summarized your discussion from an employer standpoint in a new eSight article, "Hire People Who Resolve 'Easy Mark' Situations for Themselves."
It’s featured this week in eSight’s Employer Resources section, and we’ll distribute it widely to employers through eSight’s extensive outreach mailing list -- all made possible by a grant from the American Express Foundation.
If you have further thoughts to add to the discussion capped by "Hire People Who Resolve 'Easy Mark' Situations for Themselves," please do so here.
