I’ve had a lot of requests since my last blog entry to define what I mean by “good”—so here is a short quiz to help define that:
As Dr Pausch has said:
“Works and plays well with others:
Do you tell the truth?
Are you good at apologizing (properly)?
Do you wait and expect that people will show their good side?”
In my words:
Make a promise AND keep it. Do you do what you say you’ll do?
If you get an email or voice mail, do you respond to it, THE SAME DAY?
Do people want to be with you—not just pretend to, but also really want to?
Do you always “leave something on the table” for next time at negotiations?
Do you REALLY believe in “win/win?”
Do you “live thankfully?”
That’s my definition. Happy for you to have your own, that’s OK. But HAVE ONE and be good!
