Have a big decision to make? Sleep on it. Angry with someone? Write it down and set it aside. Most decisions are made in haste and our emotions get the better of us. When we put off the desire to react immediately we take our feelings out of the equation which can provide clarity to a more sensible solution.

Many of us get caught up in the end results of what we’re working toward or the way things will be when we finally achieve something. But the truth is that getting to where you want to go or being successful doesn’t mean that the work that lead you there goes away.

In business, many leaders believe that their SOP is defined as “standard operating procedure”. When CEO Hubert Joly began Best Buy’s turnaround in 2012 one of his key executives challenged the team to revise their definition to “service over policy”. The decision to focus on the best interests of customers over company policy freed employees up to make decisions that encouraged brand loyalty and improved company culture.

General Electric, once the world’s biggest company, is a fraction of its former self. Don’t make the same mistakes.

1. Don’t fixate on short-term profits. 
2. Make sure you’re hearing the bad news.
3. Whatever you do, don’t drink your own Kool-Aid.

Never underestimate the impact you have on people. Know that they are always paying attention. If you lead by example and share your experience what you give will often be returned in kind.
