Habits of Highly Effective Geeks
By Don Mowbray
|
| 11. |
Management is doing things right, and leadership is doing the
right things. Insulate yourself from both by becoming a
consultant. |
| 10. |
Passionately pursue win/win situations, but maintain a stealthy
network sniffer log to cover your ass. |
| 9. |
Be proactive: focus on your dodecahedron of influence rather than
your dodecahedron of concern. |
| 8. |
Establish a personal mission statement modeled after the numerous
dot com business plans of the late 1990s. |
| 7. |
As a principle-centered person, distance yourself from the emotions
of a situation by ensuring you are fully vested. |
| 6. |
Habit 6 is based on self-awareness, imagination, and FUD. |
| 5. |
Understand consequences and mistakes...and the consequences of
failing to blame your mistakes on others. |
| 4. |
Become a Quadrant II manager by creating spurious Quadrant III and
IV tasks and delegating them to subordinates. |
| 3. |
Recognize that email enhances empathetic communications, especially
when lovingly embellished with three letter acronyms. |
| 2. |
The lowest level of communication is defensive and protective while
the middle level of communication is based on mutual respect. The
highest form of communication, however, is a press release from
marketing. |
| 1. |
Remember, effective leadership is a paradigm shift from paradigms to
memes. |
