#MondayMotivation  #LifeLessons  1.  Listen.  Listen .. listen.. listen.  Even when you don’t agree, or when you firmlybelieve that the other person is talking utter nonsense.  There may still be something to learn.  So listen. 2.  Never be ashamed tosay “ I don’t know this” or “I never knew that.”  Truth and vulnerability helps manage expectations,and make you more approachable.  It showsyou’re human.3.  Show respect toeveryone.  Everyone.  The janitor, the mail room clerk, themaintenance worker.  They see everythingand know everything. They could probably run the whole outfit if given theopportunity.  4.  Choose to see anotherperson’s perspective. It may be a horribly crappy perspective but it helpsexplain what motivates them, and that’s important when it comes to understanding,working with, and/or managing personnel.  No one says you have to agree.  Insight is what is key. 5.  Know when to end it.  Not every battle is worth fighting. Not everyproblem requires a perfect solution… or any solution.  You don’t need everyone on-board.  Know when to disengage and let go.  6.  To thine own self betrue.  Know who you are and what youstand for. When push comes to shove and you are dealing with a crisis, you willdefault to who you are at the core. Worse thing is to be shocked by your ownshort comings. Know yourself. 7.  Don’t be afraid to speakup, or stand up for what you think is right. Even if you’re the only one standing at the time.  Have integrity.  8.  Don’t let excellent getin the way of good enough. This is so important.  If you do you will achieve nothing, delivernothing, and fail at everything, leaving a trail of incompletes in your wake.This is the difference between doers and dreamers.  Don’t condemn yourself to living in a world of extremes where something is either perfect or not done at all.And lastly…9.  Finish strong.  Finish weak.  Finish tired.  Finish slow.  Finish fast.  Finish however youmust, but whatever you do, don’t quit…. Finish.       […adapted from the writings of my good friend Denise Bobb] -- source link
