Everything we do matters. It all makes up who and what we are.
Everything
We say and do
As managers reflects
On us and our company.
You don’t get proficient at anything without learning and practice, and it also helps when someone is there to coach and mentor you. When I started at the Golden Nugget, I had no experience in casinos and gaming – fortunately for me, there were people there to explain things and guide me along. As I look back, I’m not sure that I listened enough before trying to find my own way – I suspect that’s a common problem that people have. And when I transferred to the Mirage project, I again started acting before learning enough about that new project. Interviewing other companies was a strong reminder about the importance of listening and learning. It’s often difficult to see where we might end up but knowing that our legacy is written one day and action at a time is the best way to approach life. With that realization comes the awareness that what we do today, right now, will have an effect both on all our tomorrows and on that final reckoning. Pay attention to what you do today.
