Success does not always require sensational new ideas.
It just might require a return to some fundamental, but often neglected, principles.
Here are “10 Unused Keys to Success” by management guru Dr. Roger Fritz:
1. The greatest rewards begin when we change from “What’s in it for me?” to “How can I help you?” (The basis for true customer satisfaction.)
2. The best motivator of people is not money but genuine benefit.
3. To avoid failure is to limit accomplishment. (Avoiding failure is not the same as success.)
4. Confidence grows with achievement.
5. Always look for what’s wrong before who’s wrong.
6. The key to accountability is: Who will do what by when?
7. Brainpower without willpower is no power.
8. Cooperation is spelled “WE.”
9. Thinking is the hardest work there is. Don’t avoid it.
10. Competence without accomplishment is worthless. (Intentions have no value without results.)
