It’s important to have a core set of beliefs that you can fall back on when challenging situation arise. Over the course of my career, I’ve come up with the following seven mantras to set me up for success. To find out more about each one of them, see my more detailed post about them here.
1) Make you job so it can be done at the push of a button, and then make the button push itself
2) Carrying the weight of the world doesn’t make you a hero
3) If it’s not documented, you’ll be responsible for it, even on your day off
4) I was made a manager so that I can make five more of me
5) When something good happens, it’s a team effort. When something bad happens, it’s my fault
6) My job isn’t to tell people what it do, it’s to put my team in a place succeed
7) My job is to make you look good. Your job is to make me look good
