Turning Excuses Into Results

Here is the good news: ‘You are the Source of Your Suffering- and That’s the Good News.’

Choose to be happy. ‘Happiness is not correlated to perfect circumstances or a lack of stress in your life, but to the amount of personal accountability you accept.’

Ask yourself, ‘What am I missing?’ Because ‘what is missing from a situation is that which you are not giving.’

Do not feed your ego. ‘A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul of a leader.’

Stay away from micromanaging people. ‘If you feel you have to over-manage or micromanage, it is because you are under-leading.’

Stop hiring and promoting the wrong people. ‘You will have problem employees for as long as you continue to hire them and put up with them.’

Take action. ‘It is nearly always action– not opinion- that adds the most value.’

Always do what you say you are going to do. Because ‘clarity is the source– not the product- of a highly efficient and successful team.’

‘Trust is a choice.’

Recruitthebest Daily Digest- Workplace Inequality (2)

‘The single most important thing men can do to support gender inequality is to reflect on what it means to be a man at work.’

‘This is really the whole point of equality: having employees approach their work in a way that values the contributions, needs, and interests of everyone equally.’

‘Companies that have a culture of equality will be able to outcompete their peers.’

We learn to fit in through an ongoing process of observing and interacting with people at work, something known as socialization.’

‘Comforming to the standard determines how easy it is for you to fit in.’

‘The longer we work in corporate life, the harder it is to challenge our own beliefs of the ‘ideal worker.’

‘The inequality you experience at work doesn’t exist because of you. It exists because of the culture in your workplace. The only way to solve this is to stop denial and learn about the different ways people experience inequality at work.’

‘Not seeing inequality is what keeps it in place.’

‘Equality is an ongoing journey that every leader signs up for when they agree to manage people.’

‘When a leader shows vulnerability, it signals to others it is safe to do the same.’

‘To solve inequality, we need leaders to listen more, think differently, and take action to disrupt the status quo.’
