@_The_Prophet__ Yes. Emphatically.

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Really important principle!

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

This is not to say that some styles aren't more effective than others with different people and in different circumstances, but I often hear people complaining about the style or tone of a criticism in order to deflect from its substance. If you think someone's style is an issue, box it as a separate issue to get in sync on.

This is important advice. Choose wisely. Have a great weekend. Dko

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Make sure they're fully informed and believable. Find out who is responsible for whatever you are seeking to understand and then ask them. Listening to uninformed people is worse than having no answers at all.

This is a hallmark of Camden Property Trust. We are so Blessed. Have a fabulous Holidays! Dko

If you aren't working with people you care about and respect, your job probably isn't the one for you. I will be there for anyone who really needs me; when a whole community operates this way, it is very powerful and rewarding. Personal contact at times of personal difficulty is a must. #principleoftheday

What's something you learned in school that you've never used once in real life?

I love this, Shelley! And I love these people. Dko

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Worrying about "blame" and "credit" or "positive" and "negative" feedback impedes the iterative process that is essential to learning. Remember that what has already happened lies in the past and no longer matters except as a lesson for the future. The need for phony praise needs to be unlearned. #principleoftheday

Ray gets Camden…😘

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Meaningful relationships are invaluable for building and sustaining a culture of excellence, because they create the trust and support that people need to push each other to do great things. If the overwhelming majority of people care about having an excellent community, they will take care of it, which will yield both better work and better relationships.

Relationships have to be genuine, not forced; at the same time, the culture of the community will have a big influence on how people value relationships and how they behave with each other. To me, a meaningful relationship is one in which people care enough about each other to be there whenever someone needs support and they enjoy each other’s company so much that they can have great times together both inside and outside of work. I literally love many of the people I worked with, and I respect them deeply. #principleoftheday

Spot on Jay. I have a particular admiration for the amazing lady on the right, one of Camdens Property Trust’s amazing Trust Managers. Dko

[Jay Hartzell @JCHartzell]

Very happy to see two high-impact rock stars today, both of whom went to @Trinity_U with me - they’re amazing and I’m proud to be Trinity grads with them! With @DanielLubetzky and @heatherjbrunner

People who follow this principle will become incredibly valuable to any organization. Camden is blessed to have many of these folks, but we could always use more. Dko

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Though it won't feel that way at first, each and every problem you encounter is an opportunity; for that reason, it is essential that you bring them to the surface. Most people don't like to do this, especially if it exposes their own weaknesses or the weaknesses of someone they care about, but successful people know they have to. #principleoftheday

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Great companies, like Camden do both exceptionally well! Dko

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

You need to push through and that requires self-discipline to follow your script. It's important to remember the connections between your tasks and the goals that they are meant to achieve. When you feel yourself losing sight of that, stop and ask yourself "why?" Lose sight of the why and you will surely lose sight of your goals. #principleoftheday

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Preach that, Preacher! 😉

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Make sure you're following the suggestions made earlier, like building meaningful relationships and constantly getting in sync. Most importantly, you have to encourage people to speak up about how things are going for them. Ensuring that their personal development is proceeding appropriately is important too. Close advice from an active mentor should last at least one year. #principleoftheday

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Loving people will lead to improving lives one experience at a time. The Camden WHY. ❤️

[Tom Flick @tomflick]

Leadership is about Love. Loving someone so much you hold them accountable, inspire them to perform, remove the barriers in their way.

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Congratulations, Minelly! Welcome to the First Decade Club at Camden. You are in good Company, literally and figuratively. See you soon. Dko

[Keith Oden @mro166]

Good leaders are usually good coaches, and usually not aware of it. They’re unconsciously competent.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

When you and your team have successfully pushed through to achieve your goals, celebrate! #principleoftheday
