‘Nothing in your life gets better until your daily patterns do.’– Andy Core
Hi, my name is Bright. I am the founder of RecruitTheBest Institute, a personal and professional development platform.
RecruitTheBest Institute is about three things: Learning more, growing more, and improving more. We are not perfect. And we never stop learning more, growing more, and improving more. You can do the same. If you like what we are doing here, share with your friends.
Remember, no one succeeds alone. No one can do it all. We learn more when we learn with other people. We grow more when we grow with other people. And we improve more when we work with other people.
If you want to change yourself, if you want to change your organization (THE PEOPLE SIDE OF CHANGE), if you want to build a powerful culture, if you want to turn your organization around, let’s do it together. Let’s learn together. Let’s grow together. Let’s improve together. We can achieve greatness when we do it together.
‘You get hired for what you can do but fired for who you are. So if you want to get ahead, start there- figure out who you are and the value you bring. Awareness awakens!’
‘Find your inner hustle. Call it fire in the belly, or drive. It is the sustaining energy that keeps you moving, especially when the going gets tough. With hustle, you’ll recognize those difficult times as opportunities to challenge yourself, learn, and grow.’
‘Without knowing your blind spots, you’re vulnerable to hit a brick wall in your career- no matter how talented and high potential you are.’
‘Assess, assess, assess. You can’t see yourself clearly if you only assume. You need to have the courage to truly at yourself.’
‘Remember: learn more, earn more. Be aligned with your boss about how you can stretch and grow in taking on more of what needs to be done.’
‘Unless you’re a sculptor working alone in your studio, chipping marble or molding clay, you are not a solo performer. Despite all the technological advancements of the past few decades, we still need to work with others.’
‘You can’t change your boss- you can only change yourself. Or you can change the situation by developing an exit strategy.’
‘Be accountable for your own behaviors and performance, and always ask for unvarnished feedback.’
‘Ego is not your amigo. Maybe it’s not them, it’s you.’
‘Don’t judge, understand others before demanding to be understood.’
‘Build your political capital on trust- it is earned, not given to you.’
‘Demonstrating what you do is only half of the equation. Be connected so others can see who you are.’
‘Be self-aware as you lead by your actions, not just your words. Your team will watch what you do even more than they will listen to what you say. Model the behaviors you want to see in others.’
‘Leadership requires fellowership. Your success as a manager is solely dependent on the success of others. If your team doesn’t perform, you won’t progress.’
‘Collective genius can only come from open and candid discussion, not a scripted performance.’
‘Networking is a contact sport– it’s all about building relationships. Lead with what you can give.’
‘It isn’t like microwaving popcorn on high. Advancing your career takes time, effort, and insatiable curiosity. Learning agility is the number one predictor of success.’
‘Self-awareness is the starting point for any skill development and will keep you from derailing.’
‘Know that no matter how much you study and prepare, you will make countless mistakes, especially at first.’
‘Learning determines your earnings for life- and learning can be as simple as following good old-fashioned curiosity.’
‘Learning generally happens only when you’re outside your comfort zone.’
