• there are many factors in life that would try to take control of me. Try to be active and take good control of these enviromental factors and not let them control you:
  • deadline
  • competition
  • peer pressure
  • desire to achieve
  • fear of failure
  • fear of unknown
  • inexperience
  • frustration
  • information overload
• do not fear unknowns, find a way to make it known
• take time to make a solid plan before taking action. decisions make up front have the greatest impact on productivity
• find all the facts before making decision. decisions may seem good but if they are made based on bad or false info, they are bad decisions and will certainly cost. so stay calm, be patient, dont rush to decisions
• speck to the “old man”: every field you will find the old man who represents the past knowledget, who are the knowledge as stackholder. those old man could be:
  • customers
  • co-workers
  • leadership
  • competitors
  • reports
  • library
• value your resources. especially, time, info, people
• do not plan for the sake of planning, plan for productivity (in this game, the productivity is time in the mountain, not time in the desert)
• there is a big difference between playing to win and playing not to lose – maximize your chance to win and dont compromise on situation
• measure every decision based on the impact it has on the desired outcome.
• consensus, if unfocused, will lead to compromise and mediocrity. sometimes you should step up and make tough decisions, even they are not popular
• make sure your goals are:
  • specific
  • attainable
  • measurable
  • agreed upon
