The list captured a couple of my favorite tips:
- Do your best to avoid using the word "No" when appropriate:
If a leader can eliminate it from his or her vocabulary, they’ve taken a major step towards success. (Yep, sometimes it’s that simple)
My take: It doesn't mean that you say yes all of the time. What it does mean that instead of responding with, "I'm sorry we can't do that because....but what we can do is ...
Why not elimate what you can't do and go directly to the alternatives and solutions of what you can do.
- Also, Good to Great Leaders are humble and practice Humility -
Avoid using the word...I did or instead use the word “We”,
Giving credit to others for success, and blaming yourself for failures. Of all of what I call the “higher level” attitudes of great leaders, this (along with positivity) is also worthy of “little thing” status, because it can be such a subtle thing (like just the use of the right pronouns, for example).
