4 Steps to Driven Employees
The first few minutes of the workday can often be the most important minutes you'll have with your people. It sets the tone for the rest of the day, inspiring others to achieve greater results or leaving them without direction or energy - it's your choice.
Below are five quick and easy ideas that can help you give your people the jump start they need every morning before work begins.
Early Arrival
There is nothing quite as frustrating to an employee as seeing his or her boss waltz in hours after the workday has begun. It's very difficult to respect and follow a leader who fails to give as much as they expect in return.
Arrive to work before or with your employees and let your actions demonstrate your dedication to the company and its objectives. If you expect the best from others you must expect the same from yourself.
Energy
Moods and attitudes are contagious. The moment you walk through the door in the morning you are sharing a message with your body language. Slump your shoulders and drag your way into the office and you'll let everyone around you know that the day is going to be long and uneventful.
Walk in with a spring in your step and a smile on your face and you'll spread the enthusiasm necessary for a productive workday. Everyone sends off vibes, and as a manager or leader, your vibes can oftentimes overpower others. Use this power to enhance the quality of each day.
Meet & Greet
One of the key differences between those who inspire success and those who stifle improvement is the direction they head after entering into the office. While some choose to walk straight to their particular work area, others take a different path and in turn achieve better results.
Begin the day by greeting your people, letting them know through your actions that you care about them and feel they are an important asset to the company. If you merely run to your office and fail to acknowledge the others around you, it will only serve to create a rift between you and ones you rely on for success.
Expectations
While making your rounds you can accomplish another objective that is sure to motivate your people to action. Carrying out this method requires that you have a clear plan of action each day - something that will increase progress in and of itself.
People need direction. They need to know where they are heading and why. As you greet your employees, let them know what results you expect to see at the end of the day. Relaying clear objectives and expectations at the start of the day will help to set in motion a day of accomplishment in place of small-talk, checking e-mail, and mindless paper filing.
Follow these simple tips and you'll have a workforce that is motivated to improve, inspired to succeed, and ready to begin working toward a better tomorrow for themselves and their company.

The Key to Workplace Success
Millions of brilliant, million-dollar ideas are being lost each year, and you may be helping the problem. Two forces are battling in the minds of employees across the globe, and it's up to you to make sure the positive force wins in the end.
The first force driving employees ahead is success. Each day presents them with a new opportunity to grow, expand, and progress further than ever before. Success means something different to each person, but the underlying idea of achieving dreams and goals excites and inspires us all.
The drive of success, accomplishment, and happiness is powerful, but oftentimes the second force can bring a standstill to progress. If left to its own devices, the second force wipes the thrill of success clear away in an instant.
The second force that drives employees is the fear of failure. While it doesn't inspire them to offer their ideas to the world and improve the performance of the company, it drives them to keep still, keep quiet, and keep every great thought locked away forever.
Allowing the force of fear to play the dominant position within an employee's workday robs both the employee and the company of an opportunity to improve and achieve new heights. It saps the strength and energy from a potentially rewarding experience leaving both parties less than what they could have been.
It's Your Choice
Which force takes control is up to you - it depends on the tone and atmosphere you create with your company, department, or team. While many men and women in positions of power frown upon failure, the smartest of leaders expects and welcomes it.
To learn, you must fail. A quick example will help to make the need for failure clear. If 100 happy customers enter and leave a department store, there is nothing to build on. You have no clue as to why their experience was satisfying, only that they left without a complaint. While they may be happy with their experience (or unhappy and unwilling to tell you about it) you have nothing to gain in the long-term.
However, a complaining customer is offering you success on a silver platter. He is telling you exactly what you can do to improve your service. No guessing, no assuming. You are given specific instructions on how not to do something which will lead you to the secret of doing it better than ever before.
When an employee feels free to try new things, to offer their ideas, and to run with projects regardless of the potential for failure (assuming the necessary steps have been taken to ensure the idea is sound and relevant) you will have thousands of ideas coming your way from every corner of the company.
Growth from the Inside Out
Some of the most successful advancements made within the world's largest companies have come from lower-level employees who were given the chance to be heard. If you create an atmosphere in which 100% success is demanded at every stage of the game, you will scare away future success and achievement.
Recalling our example from above, you not only get more ideas when you allow for short- term failure but also the specifics to success. When an employee fails, and takes steps to learn from that failure, you are benefited with new and powerful information. When you know how something doesn't work, you will eventually discover exactly how it does work.
Let it be known throughout your company, department, or team that failure is an option. Think of the countless ideas that are sitting patiently in the minds of your people - now is the time to let them out.

Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
The burden of criticism is easier to bear when shared.

Selling your Ideas: Establish a Space for Cooperation
Avoid arguments: you can only lose.
Arguers will defend and embrace their previous positions.
Even “winning” will hurt the loser’s pride and build resentment.
A Guide to avoiding arguments:
1. Welcome the disagreement. Be thankful for a new opinion.
2. Stay calm.
3. Listen first. Hear your opponents out.
4. Identify areas of agreement.
5. Admitting errors will make it easier for others to admit theirs.
6. If no resolution is found, postpone action and promise to explore the opposing perspective.
Begin in a friendly way.
Open conversation with sincere praise, appreciation and sympathy.
A friendly tone will allow others to broach discussions more openly.
Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
Eagerly listen to concerns to diffuse tension and build relationships.
Others need to finish spilling their ideas before listening to you.
Be sympathetic.
Most people hunger for sympathy.
Tell them: “I’d feel the same way under those circumstances.”
Respect others’ opinions. Never say, "You're wrong."
People don’t like to admit they’re wrong and may take it personally.
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Demonstrate your willingness to rationally examine the facts.
If another is about to criticize you, don’t let them start!
A harsh self-rebuke may prompt the others to soften their critiques.
Admitting errors clears guilt and everyone to move forward quickly.
Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
Another’s perspective and motivation is the key to understanding their decisions, agenda and personality.
Frame requests in terms of what others find motivating.
Ask yourself: “Why would someone want to do what I'm asking?”
Arguers will defend and embrace their previous positions.

Building Personal Relationships
Never criticize, condemn or complain.
Self-criticism is extremely rare. Your criticism won’t be welcome.
Criticism makes others defensive and resentful.
Positive Reinforcement works better.
Become genuinely interested in other people.
People are most interested in themselves.
Remember people’s birthdays and other important details.
Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Find the interests of others and talk about those things.
If you know nothing of their interests, ask intelligent questions.
Be a good listener.
Give your exclusive attention to others.
Urge others to talk about themselves. Ask pointed questions.
Make the other person feel important.
People yearn to feel important and appreciated.
Praise others’ strengths and they’ll strive to reinforce your opinion.
Use Names whenever possible.
Smile.
Greet others with smiles and enthusiasm.
Smiling comes through even over the phone.

UPGRADATION OF PAY SCALE TO INSPECTOR
Ministry of Finance Vide Memo No F. No 1/1/2008-IC dated 13.11.2009 has revised the GP of Rs 4200/- granted to the existing pre-revised scale of Rs 6500-10500 to Rs 4600/- w.e.f 1.1.2006. The pay is to be refixed and the arrears will be paid immediately. Personal Secretaries of our Department who were in the pre-revised scale of Rs 6500 will be benefited immediately. Our demand for upgradation of pay scales to Inspector Posts at par with the Inspectors of CBDT/CBEC was considered by the Pay Commission and the recommendation given in the report is reproduced below:-
Extract of Para 7.6.14 of Pay Commission recommendations for Inspector Posts.
7.6.14 Postal Inspectors in Department of Posts have demanded a higher pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 on par with Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT/CBEC as well as Assistants of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) on the ground that they are recruited through the same examination. The Commission is recommending the merger of pre-revised pay scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 which will automatically bring Inspector (Posts) on par with Assistants in CSS/Inspectors and analogous posts in CBDT and CBEC. With this upgradation, Inspector (Posts) shall come to lie in an identical pay scale as that of their promotion post of Assistant Superintendent (Posts) [ASPOs]. ASPOs shall, accordingly, be placed in the next higher pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4600. The next higher post in the hierarchy, that of Superintendent (Post), which is also a promotion post for ASPOs, shall be placed in the pay scale of Rs.7500-12000 corresponding to the revised pay band PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with grade pay of Rs.4800. Parity exists between the posts of Inspector (Posts) and Inspectors in Mail Motor Service (MMS). This parity would need to be maintained and Assistant Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in the higher grade of Rs.7450-11500 whose corresponding replacement pay band and grade pay is PB-2 of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4600. Similarly, Manager, Mail Motor Service shall be placed in PB-2 pay band of Rs.8700-34800 along with a grade pay of Rs.4800 which corresponds to the prerevised pay scale of Rs.7500-12000.
As the Inspectors are already placed at par with pay scale of Rs 6500-10500, the benefit should also be given to Inspector Posts. The case is being taken up with our Department for upgradation of Grade Pay to Inspector Posts from Rs 4200/- to Rs 4600/- Simultaneously the grade pay of ASP and Gr B should upgraded to 4800 and 5400 respectively. Our Assoication is on the job. Specific orders will be got issued by the Directorate very soon. (Source from G. Samuel GS)

PHILATELY - THE KING OF HOBBY
Philately
What makes Philately a special hobby for me ?
Philately is a delightful hobby that sharpens and satisfies your aesthetic tastes. While expanding your knowledge of and interaction with the world you live in, you get to know interesting details of politics, history , prominent personalities, national and international events, geography, flora and fauna, agriculture, science, monuments, soldiers, warriors, scientists, arms and ammunition, modes of transport etc. This process of learning becomes more delightful through visuals and brief write-ups. In addition, philately cultivates a meticulous and focused attention to detail. It also helps you to make friends across boundaries and age limits.
What can I collect ?
Both mint - stamps (unused stamps) and used stamps can be collected. These can be collected year-wise , nation-wise or theme-wise. To make this easier and more attractive to beginners, philatelists generally advise you to collect stamps according to a selection of your choice called a Thematic Collection. Themes may be flowers, birds, animals, architecture, railways, monuments, Red Cross etc... Definitive stamps and stationery can also be collected as a theme. The bottom line is that the collection unfolds various aspects of a theme like a story .
Types of Stamps
There are commemorative and definitive stamps. Commemorative stamps are issued, as the name suggests, to commemorate important events, prominent personalities in various fields, aspects of nature, beautiful or rare flora and fauna, environmental issues, agricultural activities, national/international issues, games etc. These stamps are only available at Philatelic Bureaux and counters or under the Philatelic Deposit Account Scheme. They are printed in limited quantities.
Definitive stamps on the other hand, are used for day - to - day postal mailing purposes and are available in various ascending denominations from 20 paisa onwards at all postal counters.
How do I collect used stamps ?
Do not throw away letters that you receive. You can collect used up stamps through them. These can be detached delicately from the postal articles. Rinse in a shallow dish of water, using your hands or a soft brush. Carefully dry them in a dark place as the ultra violet rays of sunlight can damage the colours. It is also valuable to retain stamps along with the envelopes on which they are pasted as this authenticates their use.
Where can I get stamps ?
Mint stamps are available at Philatelic Bureaux and Counters in the designated post offices, details of which will be available at your nearest Head Post Office. You may like to get. in touch with local philatelists who can perhaps guide your interest. Make pen - friends both in the country and abroad -you will be surprised at the number of people who share your interest.
How can I get and use albums ?
Albums are available at leading Book and Stationery stores and with philatelists. Pasting stamps ruins them. Use paper hinges or "havids" to place them in a album. Plastic strip albums are now available and are ideal to use for beginners. Handle stamps with pincers to avoid smudging or damaging them in any way with your fingers.
What is the Philatelic material available at Philatelic Bureaux ?
Philatelic material includes -
Mint stamps (unused stamps)
First Day Covers (FDCs, which are issued with every commemorative stamp )
Brochure (Information sheet accompanying each commemorative stamp )
Collectors' Packs, year-wise
Miniature/Souvenir sheets which are sometime issued with
Commemorative stamps.
Catalogue of Postage Stamps of India since 1947
What is a Philatelic Bureau, a Philatelic Counter and an authorised office?
Philatelic Bureaux function in 59 Head Post Offices at Circle Head Offices or in major district towns.
-They carry out sale of philatelic items to individuals, dependent counters and authorised Post offices.
-Philatelic Deposit Accounts can be opened at these Bureaus.
-Philatelic counters supply all philatelic items but are not authorised to issue the Special Cancellation that accompanies each commemorative stamp.
-They provide a standard "First Day of Issue" cancellation on first day cover. Authorised offices only sell commemorative/special stamps, blank first day covers and brochures.
Philatelic News Letters
Please write to tilak@indiapost.gov.in
Catalogue of Indian Postage Stamps
Periodically a catalogue of Indian Postage Stamps from 1947 onwards is updated and is made available for sale from the Philatelic Bureaux. If you need it from abroad, please contact the Director, Mumbai GPO, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Contacting Philatelists
Many queries are received from beginners particularly, seeking guidance for starting a collection of postage stamps. You may wish to obtain information or consult the Philatelic Congress of India at sahadevas@yahoo.com .The Department of Posts is not, however, responsible for the information etc. supplied by the Philatelic Congress of India as the Department does not handle the secondary market in Philately.
Publication
A philatelic publication, titled "India's Freedom Struggle through India Postage Stamps" brought out by the Department of Posts, India, in Hindi and English is now available for sale at the Philatelic Bureaux for Rs.500/- with 40% discount. However, packing and forwarding charges will be paid in advance with the cost of the Book by the purchaser. Charges payable within India on account of forwarding by registered letters are Rs.220/- and by registered parcels are Rs.60/- .The net amount may be remitted by Money Order or demand draft ( not cheque) after deducting the admissible discount and adding the packing and forwarding charges. For registered letters, therefore, the total amount is Rs.520/- and for registered parcel Rs.360/-.
For over - seas orders, the net amount of Rs.830/- for countries falling in Category-I and Rs.1070/- for countries falling in Category-1I is required to be remitted to Mumbai GPO only, who is authorised to handle such orders.
Conditions for reproduction of Stamp Images
Re- production of stamps is allowed for illustration purposes in Philatelic Publication or in an article relating wholly on postage stamps which may appear in any magazine, newspaper or publication of a general character. Such reproduction should however , be only in black. If stamps are to be produced in colour for publicity purposes, prior permission of the Director General of Posts must be obtained. To avoid similarity with the postage , such reproduction must be distinctively in smaller or larger sizes than the actual stamp and must be without perforation on the edges. Further, across bar will also be placed on one- corner of the stamp, obliterating the denomination. It must be noted that reproduction of the stamp in colour of the actual size of the stamp with perforation of the edges may be deemed to be taken as production of the actual stamp".

Conditions for reproduction of Stamp Images
