How to Work Better
By alun | July 23, 2009
This came from the blog Jean-Marc Le Tissier // Fresh Ideas at Work
1. Do one thing at a time
2. Know the problem
3. Learn to listen
4. Learn to ask questions
5. Distinguish sense from nonsense
6. Accept change as inevitable
7. Admit mistakes
8. Say it simple
9. Be calm
10. Smile
Refreshingly simple common sense! About this list.
Try this yourself or with your team.
- Keep it simple.
- Brainstorm a list of specific, short ‘dos’ like these. The question to brainstorm against: how can we work better?
- Choose, say, the top 5 ‘dos’. Selection criteria: things you can do straight away, requiring no extra time or money.
- Then do them for a month and review – what was different? Did you work better?
- Repeat
