I recently came across a checklist (unrelated to what I was searching for) and it was an eye opener. It turns out that unsuccessful people do the following things. (Check the traits that apply to you.) They . . .
__ Think they know it all.
__ Horde information and data.
__ Hold a grudge.
__ Take all the credit for victories.
__ Blame others for their failures.
__ Fear change and hang on too long.
__ Secretly hope others fail.
__ Are quick to criticize.
YOUR SCORE ____
Successful people, on the other hand, do things differently. (Check the traits that apply to you.) They . . .
__ Continuously learn.
__ Share information and data.
__ Forgive others.
__ Share the credit.
__ Accept responsibility for their failures.
__ Drive and embrace change.
__ Want others to succeed.
__ Are quick to compliment others.
YOUR SCORE ____
ACTION: Like most people I have a couple of traits on each list. The key is to get rid of as many of the things we do from the unsuccessful list.
