My father forwarded me this list taken from the book “La sociedad que no quiere crecer” (The society that doesn’t want to grow up) from Sergio Sinai. I think that this tips do not only apply to managerial leadership but to every other sphere of our adult lives as well. So if you are either a father, mother, Bill Gates, team captain, older brother, friend or foe this list is for you.
- Accept criticism and seize it to self-improve
- Don’t surrender to self-pity
- Never expect to be treated as someone special
- Face emergencies with serenity
- Don’t let your feelings be easily wounded
- Accept the consequences of our own actions without excuses
- Overcome the stage of pretending “all-or-nothing” from life. Recognize that no situation or person is absolutely good or absolutely bad
- Learn to tolerate defeat
- Sincerely rejoice from others’ success or good luck. Overcome the feelings of envy and jealousy
- Have sufficient mental amplitude to listen to others’ opinion
- Don’t continually look for defects on other people
- Plan in advance instead of trusting yourself to luck or last-moment inspiration
