Lessons Learned

 

I spent 45 years in the marketplace of capitalism as an employee and as a company owner.  The problem with being an owner was when I was consulting, I needed to be out getting new business and vice versa...  as an employee, I reported to several bosses that were simply AASSHOLES...


WHAT DID I LEARN?

1.  Arrive early/stay late

2.  Be honest at all costs

3.  Respect/Trust the people you hire or don't hire them

4.  Always be prepared/Always do your homework

5.  Learn to say NO

6.  Take time for yourself/family

7.  Constantly re-educate

8.  Don't ask anyone to do anything that you could not do better unless it is our of your field of expertise

9.  Value teamwork

10.  Stay for life or switch companies every 3-5 years


The only reason why you have been hired or that you might hire others is trifold:

  • team player
  • add value
  • achieve goals/outcomes


Your education is meaningless

Your experience is meaningless

Your position is meaningless


IF YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE THOSE THREE BULLET POINTS
