10 CHARACTERISTICS OF WINNERS
Author unknown
- Never criticize, condemn, or complain. Think of ways to improve that situation, as the big rewards go to those who find the solutions.
- Show real, heartfelt, and honest appreciation. Show others that they are valued, appreciated, and loved.
- Think good thoughts about other people and yourself.
- Give before you get. Always give others a reason to agree with you before asking anything of them. If there were a way that you could do that job faster, better, easier, you’d want to know about, so share your ideas.
- Smile often. It generates enthusiasm, friendliness, and goodwill.
- Remember names. A person’s name is the sweetest, most important sound they will ever hear. Besides, it always grabs their full attention.
- Listen well. Encourage others to talk about themselves by asking questions. Remember the good old standbys, who, what, where, when, why, and how.
- Never engage in “worry” conversation or participate in gossip sessions.
- Look for and expect good things to happen to you and inquire of others about good things that have happened to them.
- Think, look, and act happy and successful, and you will think, feel, and become happy and successful.
Every leader has these characteristics. Which ones can you cultivate better? With a little work, you can be consciously competent on all ten.
