Never sell yourself short

Standard

While I can sometimes understand UP&OD as a consumer product or financial market strategy, I’ve never understood people who use it as a professional mantra and their formula for personal development. People who sell themselves short, project that they are either insecure about their own abilities to get the job done exceptionally well, or dishonest, creating fake wow moments just because they set the bar low.

Never sell yourself short. Greatness isn’t relative, it is absolute.

Lead yourself

Standard

Before trying to understand what motivates and drives your team for results, have you taken the time and space to figure out what makes YOU tick? It’s amazing how many people operate by inertia and don’t identify their own drivers, just because they’re caught up in the daily grind and pressured to meet that next deadline. Breathe, reflect, know yourself. It’s essential if you’re going to try to lead others.
