Wherever you are, be there. It is the beginning of your greatness. It is the beginning of your life.

Start where you are. Stop searchng for what is not there. Why is that?

Because you are here to create your own perfect life. You are here to create your own perfect job.

To do that, according to Bruce Tulgan, ‘… you need to be known for executing on one important thing after another very well, very fast, all day long.’

‘Lift people up and they will lift you up, too.’

‘Focus on the work. When the work goes better, the relationship will go better.’

‘End every work interaction or transaction by looking around the corner at the next opportunity to be of service to each other.’

‘Build enduring political power at work by being a reliable public servant.’

‘Whether or not you are in command, take charge. If you want to take charge of anyone anytime, you must communicate with rhyme and reason.’

‘When you are managing diagonally down, stay aligned with that person’s direct boss. When you are managing diagonally up, stay aligned with your boss.’

‘Take other people’s needs seriously by giving every asks its due diligence.’

‘By relentlessly adding value in service to others, you systematically build value in the thoughts and feelings of others, thereby enriching yourself and everyone you deal with, which allows you to add even more value for others.’

‘Getting things done indirectly through the boss is not the best way to make your expectations clear and make a solid plan.’

Great things don’t happen by accident. There are great leaders behind them. There are great people doing great things, taking risks.

According to Eric Douglas, ‘In a value-driven organizations, managers can delegate decisions and ask people to think for themselves.’

‘When people act on the basis of clearly understood values- linked to performance measures- they are naturally engaged in making the right decisions consistently over time.’

‘Successful leaders should strive to instill a culture of values-based decision making throughout their organizations. When they do, the results can be extraordinary.’

‘Effective meeting management is more than a discipline; it’s a way of thinking about value.’

‘Communication systems need to default to sharing, not hoarding, key information about company performances.’

‘Training workshops need to build competencies that align with the core values.’

‘Good leaders devote considerable energy and time to a deep examination of the organization’s core values. By doing so, they get to the heart of what is essential for the customers and shareholders- and thus essential for success.’

‘Great leaders build trust by defining vision. People want to know that there’s a plan and a direction.’

‘To understand the difference between a great company and a mediocre one, look at its people.’

‘Effective leaders don’t let their teams stay broken for long. They take the time to communicate and regenerate the sense of team trust.’

‘Effective leaders lighten the pressure in ways that help people learn to trust one another.’
