Ten Pointers to Win

[d_southpaw]

Eto ay mula sa isang puno ng isang malaking multinational korporasyon.
Applicable to both business and private lives:

1/ Eat problems for breakfast

2/ Possess a 'how can I help you' attitude

3/ Deal effectively with unreasonable people, remembering that when
bad things happen, reasonable people can become unreasonable.

4/ Be able to discuss problems without being defensive or unpleasant.

5/ Have a good attitude and be genuinely optimistic.

6/ Be able to learn from experiences and make appropriate adjustments.

7/ Deliver commitments without exceptions.

8 / Be prepared, and have backup plans for the unforeseen.

9/ Be like a Marine. Take your hits but keep going
until the mission is accomplished.

10/ Focus on doing the right thing, even in the face of adversity.

Eto naman "11 Simple Rules" na concept nong isa pang founder ng multinational IT/computer vendor company. Both of these are from people who have lead large successful businesses over the long years.

It look likes those great business leaders really have strong fundamental foundations.

1. Think first of the other fellow. This is THE foundation -- the first requisite -- for getting
along with others. And it is the one truly difficult accomplishment you must make.
Gaining this, the rest will be "a breeze."

2. Build up the other person's sense of importance. When we make the other person seem
less important, we frustrate one of his deepest urges. Allow him to feel equality or
superiority, and we can easily get along with him.

3. Respect the other man's personality rights. Respect as something sacred the other
fellow's right to be different from you. No two personalities are ever molded by precisely
the same forces.

4. Give sincere appreciation. If we think someone has done a thing well, we should never
hesitate to let him know it. WARNING: This does not mean promiscuous use of obvious
flattery. Flattery with most intelligent people gets exactly the reaction it deserves
-- contempt for the egotistical "phony" who stoops to it.

5. Eliminate the negative. Criticism seldom does what its user intends, for it invariably
causes resentment. The tiniest bit of disapproval can sometimes cause a resentment which
will rankle -- to your disadvantage -- for years.

6. Avoid openly trying to reform people. Every man knows he is imperfect, but he doesn't
want someone else trying to correct his faults. If you want to improve a person, help
him to embrace a higher working goal -- a standard, an ideal -- and he will do his
own "making over" far more effectively than you can do it for him.

7. Try to understand the other person. How would you react to similar circumstances?
When you begin to see the "whys" of him you can't help but get along better with him.

8. Check first impressions. We are especially prone to dislike some people on first sight
because of some vague resemblance (of which we are usually unaware) to someone
else whom we have had reason to dislike. Follow Abraham Lincoln's famous
self-instruction: "I do not like that man; therefore I shall get to know him better."

9. Take care with the little details. Watch your smile, your tone of voice, how you use your
eyes, the way you greet people, the use of nicknames and remembering faces, names
and dates. Little things add polish to your skill in dealing with people. Constantly,
deliberately thing of time until they become a natural part of your personality.

10. Develop genuine interest in people. You cannot successfully apply the foregoing
suggestions unless you have a sincere desire to like, respect and be helpful to
others. Conversely, you cannot build genuine interest in people until you
have experienced the pleasure of working with them in an atmosphere
characterized by mutual liking and respect.

11. Keep it up. That's all -- just keep it up!

Salamat Paul. Oo nga.

Siguro kahit hindi lang sa pagpo-post dito pwedeng i-apply ang mga ganitong magagandang advises. Kahit sa pang-araw-araw na buhay nating mga Pilipino, nasaan man tayo.

Most of the successful business people are good to observe and learn from.
