We can all use a little sunshine. Dan Auito has caught a few rays and written them down so you can take with you wherever you go. He hopes it makes you smile. My favourites are his comments about business.
In business, we could try to:
1) Be professional, follow procedures, don't be lazy.
2) Improve communications skills. Keep people informed.
3) Avoid procrastinating. Maintain control and be effective. Plan and carry out tasks.
4) Improve delegating skills. Give authority and responsibility to others.
5) Maintain orderly forms, applications, desks and files.
6) Have a sense of humor - but not too much.
7) Emphasize long-range relationships.
8) Have wide ranges of conversation topics: don't be narrow-minded.
9) Be able to absorb criticism objectively and constructively.
10) Be on time for all appointments; give honest reasons for being late.
11) Always express appreciation for the time of the people you deal with.
12) Improve reasoning abilities.
13) Increase self-reliance, enthusiasm, initiative, self-control, charm, thinking, and concentration of effort.
14) Master persistence, will power, ambition,and memory.
15) Always act with a definiteness of purpose.
16) Think positive on your jobs. This determines how your subordinates think toward their jobs. Set the example.
