Do Unto Others …
The goal of every action, every meeting, every project:
MAKE OTHERS SUCCESSFUL!
Can you honestly say that the questions you asked at the very last meeting you attended were … directly & unequivocally … about making others successful? (As opposed, say, to protecting your department’s turf … or your own turf.) Considering your next meeting, work assiduously on others’ successes. Evaluate each comment-suggestion you make in that direct light.
Consider this advice in the exact terms it is stated (and see above, Never Eat Alone): I EXIST TO MAKE OTHERS SUCCESSFUL … AND THIS IDEA ANIMATES MY EVERY WEE & GRAND ACTIVITY.
