Ten Areas for Serious Personal and Professional Consideration and Reflection

Start by changing your mindset and your entire philosophy of work.

9. Random wisdom to be taken very seriously:

• If you’re a communicator, talk about the media will get you nowhere. Every executive and manager, even first-line supervisors, think they are great communicators.
• You need more than communication or your present staff function. This is true even for lawyers. Most bosses think they are smarter than lawyers too.
• Read and study the Harvard Business Review. It is the most read business journal on the planet. There are many other good business journals, the more you review the better.
• Find out what your bosses read or view and read those too.
• Strive to be memorable, tell stories, seek to inspire and motivate those you work for. These are skills you can learn and they make you more valuable.
