Here is how the Four Arguments become the first four steps on your the road to productivity and excellence.
Let’s take the four arguments, one by one:
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
This means to always be in accordance with what you are saying, with your highest belives. Whenever you or your team are engaging or committing to a project, then you should remain focus on it and keep your promises. Also don’t be afraid to say No to projects. This is also a part of being impeccable with your word. Saying No means that you know what you can do in a particular moment of your life and know what it is to improve.
2. Don’t Take Anything Personally.
This is part of the feedback. You should accept feedback from your bosses, from your team and from your clients. Don’t be afraid of negative feedback and don’t take it personally. This will allow you to introspect yourself and find ways to improve. A beautiful quote is saying: “Feedback, the breakfast of champions” (Ken Blanchard)
3.Don’t Make Assumptions.
If you don’t understand a task, a project, a direction, ask for clarifications. Also don’t assume what your employees want or what motivate them. It is important not to assume how anyone think, but to open communication and listen carefully.
