‘Life is not a dress rehearsal, so make sure the life and the career you are living is your own and not someone else’s.’

‘Always challenge yourself and never get comfortable with the status quo. If you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.’

‘Always remember that if you are putting yourself out there, if you are taking risks, and if you are being open and vulnerable, you will make mistakes.’

‘Avoiding perfectionism doesn’t mean your work should be sloppy or that you don’t have to double-check your work. However, it does mean that after you’ve checked it twice, you should ask yourself whether you should check it a third, fourth or fifth time.’

‘When you are a new employee, you do not know enough to do it on your own.’

‘Your behaviour always starts with a thought, so learning how to manage your thought processes about situations and people is critical to your success.’

‘People have to trust you before they trust your ideas.’

‘The only thing worse than hearing the critical feedback is not hearing it and, unknowingly, disappointing people.’

‘You cannot expect someone to give you honest, constructive feedback when your body language is closed off.’

‘You can’t be a great communicator without being a good listener.’

‘Teams are groups whose members have a clear sense of belonging, and who share responsibility for accomplishing tasks.’- Paolo Guenzi and Dino Ruta

When it comes to building a successful team,

‘No individual does anything until and unless he is first motivated to do so.’

‘One person’s perceptions of need cannot motivate another.’

‘Humans prefer mastery and control to ambiguity and uncertainty.’

‘If your subordinates believe that you’re honest and straightforward, they’ll be more inclined to trust you- and to believe their trust is well placed.’

‘Humans are motivated both to get ahead and to get along.’

‘Our behavior is governed by two types of interactions: those that come naturally (instincts) and those that are learned (conditioning).’

‘… Companies cannot succeed if their employees aren’t in alignment.’

‘Followers perform best if they know what’s expected of them.’

‘Leaders perform best if they’ve got enthusiastic buy-in from their followers.’

‘If people doing the work aren’t happy with their lots, it’s unlikely the organization for which they toil will thrive as it otherwise might.’
