Notes from the top

At work the other day, we had a very good speaker (Mr. Cox) talk about what his advice was to us to succeed in the LIM program. With the use of some of Mr. Roberts’ information, Mr. Cox gave us the following points of advice that I just have to share. Let me know what you think!

Have integrity in everything you do
Stay mentally and physically fit
Be kind, be fair, be honest
Don’t be arrogant
Your reputation is everything, you can’t get it back
Never miss an opportunity to keep your mouth shut
The devil is in the details- the more you check, the better
Take risks
Ask for help
If you say you’ll deliver, you better be the mailman
Be positive
When you bring a problem, bring a solution
If you have something due on Wednesday, deliver it Tuesday
Life’s tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid
Control your own destiny or someone else will
Be quick
Make fast, firm decisions
Watch the news; be up to date with current events
Delete “That’s not part of my job” from your vocabulary.

The presentation was great! Very interesting! I am learning a lot as a LIM. These are all great ideas and pieces of advice that I can apply to my job…and my life.
