1. How many things can you do (and do well) at the same time?
2. Are you an expert about each of the things you deal with daily?
3. What do you do when you don’t know enough?
1. Do one thing at a time – focus on it entirely and do it well.
2. You can’t and aren’t supposed to know everything.
3. If you don’t have people and networks to refer to and rely upon, you’re missing out on being as good as you could and should be.
You’re paid to be effective. Meaning you’d better learn to organize your work and how you approach it. Meaning it’s bigger than you, so learn to work collaboratively. It often starts with being on the lookout for when you use ‘I’ – if you examine who really is attributable, you’ll most often discover it’s ‘We’. Wynn Resorts took this to the next level: employees were encouraged to think in terms of ‘We’ more than ‘I’. and that WE stood for Wynn Employees. A useful and purposeful (and fortunate) play on words. The whole point here is that, like two heads being better than one, ‘We’ multiplies the power (and effectiveness) of ‘I’. We should always look for ways to play well with others, collaborate, share ideas, learn, and realize the benefits of working together with others. When everyone gets it going, there’s almost nothing better than working with others – it’s exciting, challenging and rewarding. Be part of ‘We’ today.
Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel: this is the first time that any of the quotes I’ve uncovered and used in the past 3900+/- daily Arte of Motivation messages have an author with no discoverable history. I might have mistaken this for “anonymous”, but there are more that 180 quotes online attributable to this individual. If anyone knows more about him, please let me know (arte808@gmail.com). Bottom line: I’m attracted to the quote more than to whom it’s attributable.
