Get a better understanding of your weaknesses and build a team around you that are good in those areas you are not.
“As we grow older and wiser, we begin to realise what we need and what we need to leave behind. Sometimes walking away is a step forward.” – Marc & Angel Chernoff
When in doubt or feeling alone, look up. See how the stars shine for you.
Decide who the ‘people of value’ are in your life. These are the real people you know who mean something to you. Look after them and your relationship with them.
Get past it instead of getting even: “Revenge” isn’t “Winning”. Gandhi said: “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
You were born an original. Don’t die a copy.
Being assertive is neither passive nor aggressive: you act and encourage others to be open and honest about their views, wishes and feelings, so that both parties act appropriately.
Aggressive behaviour includes being loud and opinionated, dominating the conversation, often interrupting, and rarely listening. If they disagree with you, this is often done with sarcasm or a putdown.
Knowledge alone is not what creates high performance. Closing the gap between what we know and what we do will have far more impact on performance than any additional knowledge we might gain.
When you blame others, you give away your power to get something fixed – so instead involve people to create something greater than the problem you are trying to solve.
