- Ceilings:
the difference between managers and leaders Is that the latter
do not see any.
- Challenge
the obvious: this is where most of the opportunity lies.
- “Versus”
is one of the most powerful words in business. It translates data
to information. The more ”versuses” there are, the
better the information. Numbers mean nothing unless benchmarked
with each other.
- The “unknown”
should not scare you. It means only that others have not been
there before, and its not bad.
- The “tougher
you are, the fairer you should be . You can push performance and
credibility in parallel when each complements the other.
- Optimal prioritization
needs to be discriminatory towards the biggest opportunities. The
higher the level of discrimination, the more optimal the level of
prioritization.
- Senior managers
should know the power of their words. When they open their mouth,
they should realize their impact on people in terms of morale and
work load.
- The longer
a decision is delayed, the more the decision becomes conservative
and more the control moves out of your hands.
- Don’t
look for the next opportunity. The one you have on hand is the
opportunity.
- Boxing analogies:
knowing when to call it quits is as important as knowing when to
stand up and keep on fighting.
