Continuing from last time, here is the next installment of the Steiner Sea Scrolls:
IV. Success is in the Detail – Every plan requires attention to detail. Simple omissions can and will sink your plan. To discover what is missing, analyze the empty spaces on the page. Listen for the silence. The details that will make or break you will be found in these spaces.
V. Success is Teamwork – Master the art of being part of a team. Your ability to work towards a common goal with others – either as a leader or a team member – is essential. Collaboration, consultation and communication are the skills of teamwork – use them with your knowledge and experience.
VI. Success is Seeking the Advice of Others – “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Implementation of a plan requires others who have bought into the concepts. Seeking their counsel, regardless of your confidence in your personal assessment of the plan will infinitely add to the likelihood of success.
VII. Success is Communication – Develop your skills as a speaker, a writer and a listener. All dialogue is negotiation. The quality and quantity of information good listening provides is essential in understanding and dealing with others and is directly proportional to success in interpersonal relationships.
Since I did not drop one (like Mel Brooks did above), tune for the last scroll!
