Do not ask people who are not successful themselves for advice about interviewing or anything for that matter.

People will follow leaders who provide a sense of direction that makes sense. But the leader must also provide direction and the resources needed — then get out of the way. Decisiveness is needed to create these conditions.

During a big change within a company, people need to know what is expected of them and where the company is going.

Think about building a relationship, not trying to maneuver me into buying something. Feeling manipulated is something people have a reliable way of not liking.

Sometimes leaders, even those who quite naturally use probability to manage all types of risk, go off the rails when it comes to organizational or people decisions.

Don’t rely on the advice of people who are not successful themselves – anyone can have an opinion, but those with relevant ability are far better sources of advice and do not need to give it to boost their egos.

Avoid listening to unsolicited feedback – it’s usually given for the benefit of the sender.

If you manage people you need to understand that trainers can work on knowledge and skills but the boss needs to have an understanding of their people to spark the motivation that leads to lasting change.

Use PowerPoint slides sparingly. Packed slides that are poorly done are simply insulting to the audience.

If you don’t already, get your lifestyle in line. Live BELOW your means. This is the most important thing to do to build financial security.

Communicate in a manner that addresses your customers’ interests. People act in their self-interest. This is normal and predictable – be ready.

Hold people accountable to shared goals-not just to you. Be public about what others are delivering and how they relate to the overall goals.

Hobbies are great, it’s just that most of us don’t earn a living by pursuing them-unless we turn it into a profession.
