THE SCHOOL OF YAK

I’m sure there’s a business principle somewhere in that experience. Sometimes the only way to reach a goal is to take yourself out of the picture. I realize that may sound counterintuitive. After all, it’s been my observation that most business men and women who seek to move up the corporate ladder tend to think that they’ve always got to be front and center. You know, never share the credit or the glory. However, when I fight that natural it’s-all-about-me tendency by allowing others to step into the spotlight, I ultimately advance and reach my personal goals in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

Here’s a second business principle: show appreciation to those who help you succeed at your goals. Again, that may seem obvious. Unfortunately, in the dog-eat-dog push to reach the top of the corporate pack, extending a kind word of thanks to those who helped you along the way is a rare gift. Most of the time, saying thanks costs us next to nothing. Whether it’s an email, a note card sent through snail mail, or a phone call, an attitude of sincere gratitude creates an environment of goodwill.
