At the leadership conference, I was lucky enough to participate in California, Susan O'Malley, the former governor of Washington Wizards NBA team shared with us his 7 principles of success. Notes in brackets are my own interpretations.
1. Make bed every day. (a little discipline to start your day)
2. Plan your work and your work plan. (critical in your cart will never be empty. I go home, when all my things into my daily plan completed)
3. Outwork everyone, every day. (initiative and hard work pays off in the end not to - I did say "finally")
4. Set expectations. (Make sure to subordinates and colleagues to understand clearly what you need - be specific)
5. When you mess up, make it right. (when their mistakes, taking responsibility, and learning from them is to preserve the leader)
6. Do the right thing even when no one looks (always keep your values and personal integrity. They are valuable, and not for sale)
7. Have fun - make work fun. (Life is short, much shorter than we think, do not waste your valuable time to exercise do not use)
She also had three values for the success of a business:
1. The value of human
2. Foster teamwork
3. Listen to the customer
I hope that you find them as inspiring as I did. There were several workshops during the seminar and we had to choose one of the key topics covered as my most important.
No wonder I chose a relationship. There is precious little we can achieve in isolation at work and at home, our dependence on one another is our humanity.
