One of the things that frustrated me when working for others was the times when my boss told me to do something without instructing me how to do it. Assigning a task without instruction on performing the task happened more often than I liked.
It's a sure way of frustrating your employees. It's also a way of frustrating those of you who are seeking ways of recovering from your spouse's affair.
Many of the how-to and self-help books tell you what to do, yet leave you hanging when it comes to 'how' to do it. They also assume that every couple and every affair follows the same pattern. However, this is far from the truth as every relationship and situation is unique.
This is why it's important to not only give clear instructions but also provide guidance and support when assigning tasks. As a boss or manager, it's important to understand that your employees may not have the same level of knowledge or experience as you do. Therefore, providing them with the necessary tools and resources will not only help them complete their tasks but also improve their skills and abilities.
My preference is knowing how to do what I'm supposed to do, the order to do it along with the reason for doing it that way. There are times when knowing the reason for doing things a particular way helps me complete tasks assigned to me. It helps me see the bigger picture and understand how my work contributes to the overall goals of the organization.
Furthermore, when it comes to recovering from an affair, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each couple must navigate their unique circumstances and emotions to heal and move forward.
You may be one of those who only require being told what to do. In that case, the self-help books may give you what you need. If you're one of those types, you're likely already doing what you need to do.
If, on the other hand, you need direction concerning how to do it, the order of doing it, and the reason for doing it, then you're in the right place. When it comes to affairs, the order and reason for doing things do make a difference. Otherwise, you come across as being mechanical or unfeeling during affair recovery.
In my latest video on "Rekindling Closeness and Bringing Back Intimacy", I share what to do, how to do it, when to do it along with the reason for doing it that way.
This is assuming that both of you have decided to work on things together. It starts with that in mind and guides you through the how of bringing the two of you closer again.
You know you want connection, but for some reason, you haven't taken that step or taken the step and stumbled. If you stumbled, you may be wondering why that happened. This video guides you through those challenges.
