Paul Kaihla hat 12 Weisheiten von Top Executives zusammengetragen …
- You can’t polish a sneaker.
(Steve Loranger, chairman, president, and CEO, ITT Industries)- Learn to say „I don’t know.“ If used when appropriate, it will be used often.
(Howard Buffett, director, Berkshire Hathaway; president, Howard G. Buffett Foundation)- You remember 1/3 of what you read, 1/2 of what people tell you, but 100 percent of what you feel.
(Jim Guyette, president and CEO, Rolls-Royce North America)- Look for what is missing. Many know how to improve what’s there; few can see what isn’t there.
(Steve Loranger, chairman, president, and CEO, ITT Industries)- Never direct a complaint to the top; a serious offense is to „cc“ a person’s boss on a copy of a complaint before the person has a chance to respond.
(Bruce Whitman, president, FlightSafety International; director, Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation)- Treat the name of your company as if it were your own.
(Bill Russell, former Boston Celtics superstar )- Have fun at what you do. It will be reflected in your work. No one likes a grump except another grump!
(Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and coauthor of Primal Leadership; Ph.D. in clinical psychology, Harvard University)- When faced with decisions, try to look at them as if you were one level up in the organization. Your perspective will change quickly.
(Marshall Larsen, CEO, Goodrich)- If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.
(Andrew Benton, president, Pepperdine University)- When something appears on a slide presentation, assume that the world knows about it and deal with it accordingly.
(Richard Santulli, chairman, NetJets)- A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter (or to others) is not a nice person. (This rule never fails.)
(Paul Graziani, co-founder, president, and CEO, Analytical Graphics)- When facing issues or problems that are becoming drawn out, „short them to ground.“
(Clay Jones, chairman, president, and CEO, Rockwell Collins)
