‘Learn to think both strategically and operationally.’- Art Markman

‘Good leaders teach their supervisees how to do tasks; you cannot delegate tasks otherwise.’- Art Markman

‘There is what you say, what you do, and what you reward, and people notice those in reverse order. When people don’t do what you ask them to, it’s probably because of a misalignment between what’s being said, what people are doing, and what’s being rewraded.’- Art Markman

‘Punish negligence, not failure.’- Art Markman

‘Learn to say yes and to say no, and when you say no, understand your reasons.’- Art Markman

‘Communicate often with the people you lead, even if you have to tell them that the future is uncertain.’– Art Markman

‘Work on your public speaking skills. Practice a lot. Don’t worry too much about bad talks.

‘Develop a personal ethos that you can bring to your leadership.’- Art Markman

‘Recognize that procedures may lead to outcomes that don’t reflect your ideals.’- Art Markman

Put Yourself First, Not Last

Stop putting yourself last. You are not going to be able to help other people if you do not stop putting yourself last.

Stop it! Stop putting yourself down. It is not helping you. If you want to lift other people up, you must first lift yourself up.

If you want to change the world, you must first change yourself. If you want to build a strong house, you must have a solid foundation.

If you do not have a solid foundation, you won’t be able to live a normal life.

If you can’t live a normal life, you are not living at all. Is that good for you? Is that what you want?

Remember, you are a special human being. You are different. You are unique.

When you are helping other people, do not forget who you are. Do not forget what you want. And do not forget what you stand for.

Above all, do not forget the relationship you have with yourself. If you do not maintain the best relationship with yourself, then you are in trouble.

Why? Because if you don’t love yourself, you won’t be able to love other people.

If you do not have a great relationship with yourself, it is going to be difficult to build positive relationships with others.

If you want to life your life on your own terms, you must stop putting yourself last.

Instead of putting yourself last, instead of putting yourself down, instead of taking yourself for granted, why not take good care of yourself?
