Truth

"Never is the truth more at risk than during tough times, with layoffs in the headlines and uppermost on employees' minds. At such times leaders need to redouble their efforts to tell employees the truth, balancing candor with compassion and hope with honesty."

-Barry Salzberg, CEO Deloitte LLP

31 Major Causes of Failure

According to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" there are thirty-one major reasons or failure. As you go over the list, check yourself by it, point by point, for the purpose of discovering how many of these causes-of-failure stand between you and success. Unfavorable hereditary background. There is but little, if anything, which can be done for people who are born with a deficiency in brain power. This philosophy offers but one method of bridging this weakness - through the aid of the Master Mind. Observe with profit, however, that this is the only one of the thirty-one causes of failure which may not be easily corrected by any individual. Lack of a well-defined purpose in life. There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or a definite goal at which to aim. Ninety-eight out of every hundred of those whom I have analyzed had no such aim. Perhaps this was the major cause of their failure.  Lack of ambition to aim above medio...

13 People[Organizations] Who Chose to Circulate Trust

In this world who experienced a lot of distrust, with people who in one way or another been a victim of betrayal, of fraud, of scam, of misbehavior, trust has become scarce, and it seems that it has become a "hard currency", it's rare to find.

It seems that trust has joined "honesty" on being labeled by the song "such a lonely word". Trust, has been the currency that every people wants to keep and don't want to spend.

Secrets of the Successful: I.M.A.G.E. - "M" is for what?

Image
I have recently shared to you that the secret of the successful is I.M.A.G.E. And by now, if you have been following my blog, you know what "I" means, Innovation . If you haven't read it, click here . Now, I am going to reveal to you what the next letter means, "M" is for Mastery. Committing yourself to mastery at what you do, mastery at your craft - whether your craft is selling staplers or educating children - is the only standard to operate under in these change-rich times. Anything less and you'll be left behind. The comedian Steve Martin said it really well when he advised, 'Be so good that people cannot ignore you.' Look, if people you work with and the people you serve only like you, you'll probably not last that long in this age of intense competition. You want people to love you. To adore you. To worship the very ground you stand on because you are so staggeringly good at what you do. And the only standard that will get you...
