My collection of ideas.

June 29, 2009 • 10:19 PM

don’t play to your temptations or let others cash on your weaknesses

admitting truth instills confidence to have productive conflict which clears decisions for accountable performance.

  • don’t lock up conscience: gain credibility by welcoming dissent & admitting when you are wrong. that which the truth demolishes should be.
  • don’t bottle up tensions: encourage airing perspective differences helps debugging towards better decisions but guard against attacks on self-esteem. let collaboration thrive in the chaos.
  • don’t shirk from duty: clear direction is the antidote to anxiety so settle the uncertainty rather than staying paralysed analyzing more info/debating accurate timing to act. demarcate responsibilities.
  • don’t hold back  first things: work for long-term respect by giving negative feedback & making commitments accountable. don’t be a affectionate anchor feeding others ego & to fit in the group think.
  • don’t smudge the report card: measure success by performance not by advancing status or protecting ego.if you want to cut, you should’nt parry.
