Editor's Notes
- #2: Who doesn’t want to achieve soaring success in their career….? ? ? Anybody?...I though so…. I believe each and everyone are here with only 1 objective is to improve yourself to help either to build successful career, or to create better image…or get tools up for promotion, to gain new responsibility and authority, to earn a higher salary.... Am I right?????? Transition content… Let me share a success story of Jim..

I call it 3 Ps to Success: Persistence Perseverance Patience
- #5: Knowledge is the one that separates you from the pack. Most people work hard to check the “I’m doing a great job in my job” box, but to be a leader you need to be able to step up, care about, and truly understand the larger issues of the business. In Jim’s case as when as a Treasurer in Delat… he was concerned about poor on-time record. He dug into the data, met with peers, learned what people did in different departments… he wanted to know everything possible about everything possible. And one fine day the CEO said, “Okay, since you’ve been complaining so much about our transportation network, it’s yours.” Even though he never held an operations job he became the COO. People instantly recognize when you truly care about your business and truly care about learning. That always shines through – and will always take you far. All you have to do is ask questions and listen. Transition Content… Getting the best out of people..
- #6: The goal is to be authentic and learn to work within the framework of your personality to get people to follow your lead. People like, respect, and follow real people Transition Content.. Next work life balance
- #7: You can’t treat your career like a crash diet: Cut your calories in half and exercise like crazy and you will lose weight, but eventually you won't be able to stick with a program like that… and you'll gain back the weight you lost. Building a great career is a marathon, not a sprint. Transition Content.. Next Care Deeply…
- #8: You can only reach your full potential, both personally and in a career, when you truly care and deeply invested in the success of the company and associates Transition Content… And finally build your team and network
- #9: Build a “My Team” network of people in your life who care about your success and can freely give you advice, perspective, support, etc In case of Jim it included ex-partners from Boston Consulting Group, ex-colleagues from Delta, great friends from B-school… Make sure you have people in your life you can always turn to… and for whom you will always do the same. Transition.. In summary..
