“1. Excavate Your Soul: Become aware of your dreams, desires, and talents. Take steps to develop them and make them grow.
2. Yank the Diseased Tooth: Fill the cavities but if it is too infected yank it out. If you cannot fix the bad stuff, then get rid of it. Clear the clutter from your desk, your computer files, and your life. This can mean letting go product idea, department, an employee on probation, or anything that you know that investing more time towardreaching a solution is never going to help. New things cannot appear until you rid yourself of what was taking up the space that the new things need. Of course the best way to fix a problem is not to have it in the first place. To me this is the number one problem. People will accept problems thinking they can just get rid of them if it does not work out. Then they do not know how to get rid of them so they just deal with them which is unfair to all involved including the one who is the problem.
3. Play the Whole Movie: How will what you do today affect today, tomorrow, and years to come. Just as in #2 you may worry about yanking the tooth and what will happen today with the pain of pulling. But you also have to think about how much relief it will be tomorrow and what improvements will come in the future because of this.
4. Put Superman out of a Job: The majority of problems leaders face are people problems. So we must ask "What can I do to make this situation better?" instead of "What can someone else do to make this situation better?". Look at your involment and contributions to it before looking at them.
5. Embrace Your Inner Insect: Avoid all-or-nothing thinking. Study the ant and how he works. Proverbs 6:6-8.
6. Earn a Black Belt in Hate: Hate the right things. We are defined by what we love and what we hate.
7. Forget about Playing Fair: Give back better than you are given.
8. Quit Self-Exaggerating: Do not try to be what you are not!!! We all fail. It is what you do when you fail that determines your success.
9. Ignore the Popularity Polls: You cannot make decissions based on how people will react.
