The Art of Normal
The Art of Normal – advice for those in organisations from a great manager I had many moons ago:
- Treat people how you would like to be treated
- Most people want to do the right thing… let them.. maybe even help them
- If you have a question… ask it
- If you’re unsure of a task / process… ask someone to explain it
- Be honest
- If you get the chance.. lead from the front (by example). It’s an honour to be asked to lead…. don’t forget that ! Work twice as hard to be worthy…
- Do your best.. if possibly cheerfully
- Work hard
- Life is short, if you’re convinced you can’t improve things… go somewhere you can
- They pay you so they get to ask you to do things.. you always have a choice if you can’t convince them of other priorities or uses of your time
- If something doesn’t look right… it probably isn’t… fix it or tell someone
