Be of value to who? Oneself, or others? Einstein was a genius in physics but he was still unfortunately an altruist that thought the beneficiary of one’s own actions should always be “other people” instead of oneself. He thought it was moral to sacrifice oneself for others.. he may as well have worked with the church, given his religious view of collectivized ethics.
@nova00boss it’s not selfish to give up on one’s own son.. it would be selfless for me to give up on my son if I love him. I have a selfish duty to fulfill my commitment I made to my son, otherwise I’d view myself as a failure of a father. I think this applies to Einstein too. Thanks for your kind thoughts though.

Mentality: if you are not ready to to learn, absorb or just be presently open minded. Fail. 2. Power: power is more like assertiveness. Being able to take responsibility and give it.

If you were unresponsible before, you might also be when moving up. When you move up, you become more responsible for others as well as yourself. 4. Qualified: this is basically experience. We all need to crawl before walking. We all need to speak well with others if we are going to command others. Command can be subtle, harshly, kindly, or without tone. Leaders "do" and have "doers" with them. 5. Luck: is more or less timing. If you have all the above things. Luck brings you that certain push. Perhaps you dressed up vs not. Perhaps you share similar stories like military or previous residence and the new boss also shares these.

Maybe, instead of thinking about the top (as in "make it to the top"), we should about getting to the bottom (as in the base of a pyramid). The more successful we become, the more support we should be able to offer others.
No. We don't need more people of any particular group or minority at the top... What we need is the best people... And if the majority are women, great; majority men, fine; majority disabled, no worries.... The best person for the job. Simple. Get rid of internal politics and getting to the top because of who you know not what you know.... That's what needs the focus.
@@Dimitris_Half No, this woman is extremely racist by making that the focus. She never said once in any of her talks about helping all people get to the top. Only helping black women and people of color. Who's racist? The person who you commented to did not say what you're accusing. They're saying that's not what the focus should be. They shouldn't be brought to the top simply based on those criteria's. You get to the top based on your experience, expertise, goals, work ethics, knowledge and hard working skills. Not just because you're black, a person of color, a woman, a person with a disability etc.
How to lift while you climb: 1. Question your surroundings. Examine who is at the table with you, who ISN'T? If you don't name the disparities/discrepancies, you can't change them. 2. Aim for sponsorship over mentorship. Sponsorship is using your privilege, position and power to give opportunities to those who are usually not included. It's asssisting overs and making explicit their work and value. 3. Pass on the chance for glory. Offer your seat to others who may have been overlooked because of their background or demographic. Pass on your knowledge to assist, include and celebrate others.
I Don't Disrespect The Core Value. But What about quality over Quantity? I respect all communities around the world🙏🏻 The only line I liked in this video was " Lift others while you climb" rest was not that encouraging.
@@venkatchait007 Life to Hard for everyone who didn't inherited Wealth from there grandpa. With enough hardwork and determination anyone can thrive. Been lazy while having 2 hand ,legs and been straight will only get you so far.
The only way to truly help people long range is to teach them to help themselves. This is where Objectivism and philosophy become necessary. This type of ethical view is what builds wealth. If we sacrifice the successful individuals within civilization to the unsuccessful, rather than teach everyone to be successful, we will effectively outlaw success until everyone is equally poor and miserable. I’m sure this woman believes her own garbage advice, but that doesn’t mean she’s correct. If she’s asserting truth where no truth is to be found, she’s propagandizing all of us. It’s time we think for ourselves as individuals. Read Ayn Rand for inspiration..
@Kitty Kat I can prove that all my assertions and claims are demonstrable in every imaginable context. Einstein nor yourself can say the same. If you ever find the clarity through your biases, it would do you well to read The Virtue of Selfishness. Take care
@Kitty Kat I’m not right wing 😆 You don’t even know what you’re criticizing.. Ayn Rand is the only person since the founding fathers to advocate for inalienable rights. She added property as inalienable too, along with life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Without property rights, all other rights are mere privileges. If a person cannot legally have an inalienable right to own that which they earn, they are a slave to any group or tyrants that can convince the masses to vote to violate said rights. Inalienable right’s should never be democratized. It’s strange how you claim to know more about me than myself. I think that’s something you picked up from the culture but doesn’t affect me in any serious way. Grow up.
@Kitty Kat “What is the basic, the essential, the crucial principle that differentiates freedom from slavery? It is the principle of voluntary action versus physical coercion or compulsion” -Ayn Rand Do you disagree, if so, why?
@Kitty Kat every individual, regardless of privilege, has a metaphysical need to provide for their own life. Inalienable right’s protect freedom of action in social contexts, so that people are free to live their life how they choose. One man’s need is not a claim on another man’s life. You are the privileged one speaking from a position within a cushy culture that says it’s moral for someone to be a parasite on other individuals. Would you marry someone that demanded you sacrifice for them while they never act to earn their own life and position in your values? Do you give all your money to homeless people? Obviously not. If we don’t allow for individuals to be successful, there will be no one to care for the poor.. welfare enforces caring for the poor, which in turn makes people resentful. If you want wealthy people to share their secrets, you first have to stop demanding they be your financial slaves.
We *NEED* people who can do the job to be given the job and be allowed to do it - whether they are a woman, of race, with disability or have gender orientations that may be considered 'different' is irrelevant. What I'm saying is that we don't *NEED* people who fit these description we just need people who can do the job well.
@@Dimitris_Half We need to hire who's right for the job. We don't need to hire a woman because we don't have one employed. We don't need to hire a person of color because we don't have one employed, etc. etc. etc. Get it? We hired who applied and was right for the job. We didn't hire based on sexual orientation or skin color because that itself is racist.
@@Dimitris_Half I'll hire a woman if out of all the people that apply she happens to be the best fit of them all. If a guy that applied is better for the position, it goes to him. Not hiring them just because they're a woman, or because they're black or any other reason. Stop acting like you don't know what people mean when they say "people of color" and if you don't know then you clearly live under a rock. I'll clue you in, it doesn't mean "everyone".
@@Dimitris_Half Sure, Amber didn't mention what you're mentioning at all. She mentioned ways to help "people of color, minorities, lgbtq etc." get to the top if you're one who's made it to the top. She never mentions "everyone" in this video nor any other speaking engagement she's done. I mean how racist can you be when you say "black trans women should be running all businesses"? Pretty sad! I know who she is and I've watched many of her speaking engagements. I know exactly the type of woman she is and what she supports. You clearly do not!
@@Dimitris_Half Do you think someone is more qualified to get a job because they are a women, of other races, with disabilities, and/or LGBT? I believe that there are institutional and personal bias in play during hiring. I agree that this is is where problems arise. My understand is that this is what using phrases such as "We need to employee this or that type of person" is an attempt to counteract those bias's I would think that saying there is a 'need' for individuals who are identifying by such labels creates more segregation and feeds into those bias. It implies that those with such labelling be hire over someone better qualified. I'm happy to be told, in a clear an logical way, where I may be going wrong on this. My comment was intended to promote discussion and develop my understanding. Thanks
It is not you appearance, nor your beliefs, nor preferences that matter. It your usefulness. I would rather work with some competent person than with someone based on their sexual preferences, skin colour or similar.
I would work with competent person - work isn't about race or sexual preferences - it is about competence. We shouldn't consider people because they are white, or black, or gay,... inside companies. We should consider those who are competent. Do you get the difference?
@@Dimitris_Half I am not muslim 😆 I am an atheist. And I am not a racist. I made a bunch of mistakes while writing that comment. But I already corrected it. I was arguing that people can be what ever they want. But company should consider competence above race, sexual preferences or any other personal choice. And I would totally work with gay, lesbian, black people (who are actually brown), white people (who are actually yellowish), etc... I have no problem with that at all.
Last days “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7
What an excellent talk. The idea isn't new but in this country it is very foreign. Racism and bigotry stop the process of inclusion and we live in a very racist country.
I think I didnt got it. So you say that I should promote based on race, gender and sexual orientation? Or merits? What if I would continue to carry on not interested in gender, race or sexual orientation? Offer everyone a space at the table?
I have let my controlling parents run my whole life! Telling me what I can and can't do with my life! I have let them belittle me in front of family! I've had to put my wants, needs, goals and dreams aside for them! I'm a 40 year old man who has never left his childhood home! I'm tired of watching life pass me by day after day, month after month, and year after year! I need a lot of HELP!!
Okay let’s be clear on one thing. People like your describing have nothing to do with the qualifications for the job. We need people qualified and educated. Notice the period. No matter what job.
Although this is good I feel she spent too much time talking about diversity and we have been hammered and hammered and hammered with this for far too long now . I was really hoping she would talk more about simply being the boss or the person at work who notices when others are suffering or seem to be going through a hard time or maybe they are even dealing simply with chaos . I was hoping she would talk more about how it is of the utmost importance to always be kind ... be kind ... be kind . Tired of hearing about diversity when black folks in general are doing so much better and are close to the Mountaintop that Martin Luther King spoke of. Does anybody ever talk about the American NATIVES , the American INDIANS ? NO . Why is this so ? WHO CARES ABOUT THEM , aside from me ?
@@TheMeanArena Your may be right. Some of those are greedy. When they got help,what they want would just be more of that,never thinking about paying back.
Diversities are things can't be avoided, but encouraging the unsupportive people to drag us backdown it's not something that we want to happen. True that work environment can be vicious, but if you want to success and the company to growth, you should be brave to cut the death branches, cleaning it from parasitic plants, so the tree can grow bigger.
It should not come down to promoting people of colour or lgtb, but who is most suitable for the promotion. The big problem is promotions within because a manager knows or wants a person in the role.
@@Dimitris_Half it should never be a question of whether they are a person of colour or lgtb. The only question should be who is best suited to the role. Genders colour and sexuality should not mean you do or do not get a promotion.
Sounds nice, but what about the constant contexts where one is politically and socially forced to put other’s before oneself? Unless it’s moral to selfishly focus on themselves, they’ll never be free to help others how they want to, how other’s need in reality. Teach a man to fish is still the proper solution. Stealing from the successful and redistributing their wealth via political force, to the unsuccessful, is also a form of slavery. This woman wants economic slavery…
@Kitty Kat you wouldn’t accuse me of that if I didn’t have the balls to show my face in my photo. You’re despicable and racist for bringing the color of my skin into this. I was born into welfare and earned my success. Grow up.
@Kitty Kat what you think I am is not what I am.. you’re calling out something that doesn’t exist. You are brainwashed by politics and equity, that’s your problem. It only becomes my problem when you attempt to vote away my rights. Objectivism would grow you up, if you actually care to be wealthier and happier. You’ll never be happy by bringing down successful people.. you’ll inevitably be too filled with envy and hatred of success to enjoy your only life. If you hate success, you’ll never strive to succeed.. and that’s a fact
@@bradbecker8982 first, I apologize for the behaviors of a few who fail to argue a their point of view, but instead sling insults instead. Second, for everyone else, please be kind. Be kind to everyone. Even if you disagree with them. A differing point of view is not an attack. It does not make those who see things differently a racist. Be intelligent and put forth a logical and compelling counter argument to prove your position. Hurling insults only hurts your/our position and those who share it. Third, if you want to be successful in your career, there is a process for doing so. I will share what a “sponsor” once taught me, and what I have taught to probably a hundred employees over the years. It works for everyone who performs each and every step: 1) Before all else, work hard at being kind to everyone. BE. KIND. TO. EVERYONE. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. 2) Repeatedly set lofty goals. Work hard to understand what it really takes to achieve those goals. Create plans to achieve the milestones along the way to achieving those goals. Work hard at quickly executing the plans. Execute with discipline. 3) WORK extremely hard at being extremely competent. Do so by obtaining broad knowledge and specialized skills that leverage your natural talents. Use your ever improving abilities to deliver excellence with everything you do. When you fail, own 100% of the failure. Learn from the failures. Never let it happen again. 4) Work hard at understanding the financials. You work at a business. Businesses make money. If you don’t understand the money, you don’t understand the business. You will make wiser and more impactful decisions as a result of your financial understanding of the business. You will see opportunities to work on early and often. As my old sponsor often said, “show me a Team member who knows the financials, and I will show you a Team member with a bright future”. 5) Understand how people “work”. You can almost always accomplish more when you are able to work well with others. You will almost always accomplish more when you know how to bring out the very best in people. 6) WORK HARD TO UNDERSTAND AND SOLVE YOUR BOSS’ PROBLEMS! Solve their boss’s problems as well. For entrepreneurs, your “Boss” is the customer. 7) Ensure your boss, and their bosses, knows what your goals are. Since you are their go to “problem solver”, they will be eager to help you get there. If they are not, get a different boss. 8) Work hard at repeating every step, every single day! This is a tough path to follow. But if I can do it, everyone can. Lastly, if you want to “lift” others up as you climb the ladder, teach them these points. I was taught these decades ago. This is the path to success I followed. I am no one special. I do not have any advantage or talents m. It works. It works if you put in the work. Just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Thanks.
No offense, but I hear a little too much _diversity_ in this talk. I have no problem with the term itself and I am a firm believer that good, competent, and hard-working people should be rewarded by helping them climb the ladder no matter of their background. However, just hiring people of a certain background to claim that you promote diversity is likely to achieve the opposite. Employees get fed up, when not the most competent/suitable person gets hired or even promoted. In addition, to keep the company under its potential, this is likely to cause a rift and destroy trust in the boss. It can also be bad for the reputation. The best example of recent times was the g-pandering of many companies. They made their logos for a short time into rainbow-thingies that were often hard to read and as soon as you changed the language or region setting, the rainbow was gone... Moreover, what exactly did they do to help the LGBTQ-community? That logo does nothing, even more so when it's just waving a flag for a short time... Lastly, there's also a dark side to what she advocated, which has existed for centuries: cronyism. I've seen a Romanian boss hiring as many Romanians and Polish people as she could, causing a divide in the workgroup between the three prevalent languages. To make things worse, her favoritism poured oil into the fire. Others did even worse jobs in helping others to climb the ladder in that they installed incompetent, but loyal supporters into key positions corrupting the entire place and causing a gradual and slow decline.

No. We don't need more people of any particular group or minority at the top... What we need is the best people... And if the majority are women, great; majority men, fine; majority disabled, no worries.... The best person for the job. Simple. Get rid of internal politics and getting to the top because of who you know not what you know.... That's what needs the focus.
@@Dimitris_Half No, this woman is extremely racist by making that the focus. She never said once in any of her talks about helping all people get to the top. Only helping black women and people of color. Who's racist? The person who you commented to did not say what you're accusing. They're saying that's not what the focus should be. They shouldn't be brought to the top simply based on those criteria's. You get to the top based on your experience, expertise, goals, work ethics, knowledge and hard working skills. Not just because you're black, a person of color, a woman, a person with a disability etc.
Simon DeBeauvoir already have said it the best. Along with that, read the books, attend schools, help your community grow and eat better.
Great message. Excellent speaking skills. 👏🏼

Love this… Climb-then-Lift
How to lift while you climb:
1. Question your surroundings.
Examine who is at the table with you, who ISN'T? If you don't name the disparities/discrepancies, you can't change them.
2. Aim for sponsorship over mentorship.
Sponsorship is using your privilege, position and power to give opportunities to those who are usually not included. It's asssisting overs and making explicit their work and value.
3. Pass on the chance for glory.
Offer your seat to others who may have been overlooked because of their background or demographic. Pass on your knowledge to assist, include and celebrate others.
Yes! Love this!!

The only line I liked in this video was " Lift others while you climb" rest was not that encouraging.
improve the quality of others instead of hoping to find someone at the level you need, your organization will thrive

The only way to truly help people long range is to teach them to help themselves. This is where Objectivism and philosophy become necessary. This type of ethical view is what builds wealth.
If we sacrifice the successful individuals within civilization to the unsuccessful, rather than teach everyone to be successful, we will effectively outlaw success until everyone is equally poor and miserable.
I’m sure this woman believes her own garbage advice, but that doesn’t mean she’s correct. If she’s asserting truth where no truth is to be found, she’s propagandizing all of us. It’s time we think for ourselves as individuals. Read Ayn Rand for inspiration..
@Kitty Kat I can prove that all my assertions and claims are demonstrable in every imaginable context. Einstein nor yourself can say the same. If you ever find the clarity through your biases, it would do you well to read The Virtue of Selfishness. Take care
@Kitty Kat I’m not right wing 😆
You don’t even know what you’re criticizing.. Ayn Rand is the only person since the founding fathers to advocate for inalienable rights. She added property as inalienable too, along with life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Without property rights, all other rights are mere privileges. If a person cannot legally have an inalienable right to own that which they earn, they are a slave to any group or tyrants that can convince the masses to vote to violate said rights. Inalienable right’s should never be democratized. It’s strange how you claim to know more about me than myself. I think that’s something you picked up from the culture but doesn’t affect me in any serious way. Grow up.
@Kitty Kat “What is the basic, the essential, the crucial principle that differentiates freedom from slavery? It is the principle of voluntary action versus physical coercion or compulsion” -Ayn Rand
Do you disagree, if so, why?
@Kitty Kat every individual, regardless of privilege, has a metaphysical need to provide for their own life. Inalienable right’s protect freedom of action in social contexts, so that people are free to live their life how they choose. One man’s need is not a claim on another man’s life. You are the privileged one speaking from a position within a cushy culture that says it’s moral for someone to be a parasite on other individuals. Would you marry someone that demanded you sacrifice for them while they never act to earn their own life and position in your values? Do you give all your money to homeless people? Obviously not.
If we don’t allow for individuals to be successful, there will be no one to care for the poor.. welfare enforces caring for the poor, which in turn makes people resentful. If you want wealthy people to share their secrets, you first have to stop demanding they be your financial slaves.
We *NEED* people who can do the job to be given the job and be allowed to do it - whether they are a woman, of race, with disability or have gender orientations that may be considered 'different' is irrelevant. What I'm saying is that we don't *NEED* people who fit these description we just need people who can do the job well.
@@Dimitris_Half We need to hire who's right for the job. We don't need to hire a woman because we don't have one employed. We don't need to hire a person of color because we don't have one employed, etc. etc. etc. Get it? We hired who applied and was right for the job. We didn't hire based on sexual orientation or skin color because that itself is racist.
@@Dimitris_Half I'll hire a woman if out of all the people that apply she happens to be the best fit of them all. If a guy that applied is better for the position, it goes to him. Not hiring them just because they're a woman, or because they're black or any other reason. Stop acting like you don't know what people mean when they say "people of color" and if you don't know then you clearly live under a rock. I'll clue you in, it doesn't mean "everyone".
@@Dimitris_Half No, it doesn't. Get a clue. Who uses the term people of color to say the word everyone? Nobody!
@@Dimitris_Half Sure, Amber didn't mention what you're mentioning at all. She mentioned ways to help "people of color, minorities, lgbtq etc." get to the top if you're one who's made it to the top. She never mentions "everyone" in this video nor any other speaking engagement she's done. I mean how racist can you be when you say "black trans women should be running all businesses"? Pretty sad! I know who she is and I've watched many of her speaking engagements. I know exactly the type of woman she is and what she supports. You clearly do not!
@@Dimitris_Half Do you think someone is more qualified to get a job because they are a women, of other races, with disabilities, and/or LGBT?
I believe that there are institutional and personal bias in play during hiring. I agree that this is is where problems arise. My understand is that this is what using phrases such as "We need to employee this or that type of person" is an attempt to counteract those bias's
I would think that saying there is a 'need' for individuals who are identifying by such labels creates more segregation and feeds into those bias. It implies that those with such labelling be hire over someone better qualified.
I'm happy to be told, in a clear an logical way, where I may be going wrong on this. My comment was intended to promote discussion and develop my understanding.
Thanks

It is not you appearance, nor your beliefs, nor preferences that matter. It your usefulness. I would rather work with some competent person than with someone based on their sexual preferences, skin colour or similar.
I would work with competent person - work isn't about race or sexual preferences - it is about competence. We shouldn't consider people because they are white, or black, or gay,... inside companies. We should consider those who are competent. Do you get the difference?
@@Dimitris_Half I am not muslim 😆 I am an atheist. And I am not a racist. I made a bunch of mistakes while writing that comment. But I already corrected it. I was arguing that people can be what ever they want. But company should consider competence above race, sexual preferences or any other personal choice. And I would totally work with gay, lesbian, black people (who are actually brown), white people (who are actually yellowish), etc... I have no problem with that at all.
@@Dimitris_Half And my corrected message doesn't contradict in any way my principal message which was never corrected.
Yes, we should not base positions on how people look outwardly but by their individual merits alone...

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Hello
♡
Although this is good I feel she spent too much time talking about diversity and we have been hammered and hammered and hammered with this for far too long now .
I was really hoping she would talk more about simply being the boss or the person at work who notices when others are suffering or seem to be going through a hard time or maybe they are even dealing simply with chaos .
I was hoping she would talk more about how it is of the utmost importance to always be kind ... be kind ... be kind .
Tired of hearing about diversity when black folks in general are doing so much better and are close to the Mountaintop that Martin Luther King spoke of.
Does anybody ever talk about the American NATIVES , the American INDIANS ?
NO . Why is this so ? WHO CARES ABOUT THEM , aside from me ?
You could always produce your own talk with your own specific emphasis (which sounds to me like it would be a plea for more diversity).

The weaker need help worse than those competent. So help them and they ll thank you more.
No they won't because they didn't earn it. It was given to them therefore they don't value what they were given.
@@TheMeanArena Your may be right. Some of those are greedy. When they got help,what they want would just be more of that,never thinking about paying back.

Diversities are things can't be avoided, but encouraging the unsupportive people to drag us backdown it's not something that we want to happen. True that work environment can be vicious, but if you want to success and the company to growth, you should be brave to cut the death branches, cleaning it from parasitic plants, so the tree can grow bigger.

Or…
Do what I do and run the world.
It should not come down to promoting people of colour or lgtb, but who is most suitable for the promotion. The big problem is promotions within because a manager knows or wants a person in the role.
@@Dimitris_Half it should never be a question of whether they are a person of colour or lgtb. The only question should be who is best suited to the role. Genders colour and sexuality should not mean you do or do not get a promotion.
What I'm saying is a person is a person and all should be equal.
@@Dimitris_Half I know and that's what I'm saying, why complain to someone who agrees?
She's hot
My husbands boyfriends name is Ted.
What she proposes is what has wrecked this country.
Sounds nice, but what about the constant contexts where one is politically and socially forced to put other’s before oneself? Unless it’s moral to selfishly focus on themselves, they’ll never be free to help others how they want to, how other’s need in reality. Teach a man to fish is still the proper solution. Stealing from the successful and redistributing their wealth via political force, to the unsuccessful, is also a form of slavery. This woman wants economic slavery…
@Kitty Kat you wouldn’t accuse me of that if I didn’t have the balls to show my face in my photo. You’re despicable and racist for bringing the color of my skin into this. I was born into welfare and earned my success. Grow up.
@Kitty Kat what you think I am is not what I am.. you’re calling out something that doesn’t exist. You are brainwashed by politics and equity, that’s your problem. It only becomes my problem when you attempt to vote away my rights. Objectivism would grow you up, if you actually care to be wealthier and happier. You’ll never be happy by bringing down successful people.. you’ll inevitably be too filled with envy and hatred of success to enjoy your only life. If you hate success, you’ll never strive to succeed.. and that’s a fact
@@bradbecker8982 first, I apologize for the behaviors of a few who fail to argue a their point of view, but instead sling insults instead.
Second, for everyone else, please be kind. Be kind to everyone. Even if you disagree with them. A differing point of view is not an attack. It does not make those who see things differently a racist. Be intelligent and put forth a logical and compelling counter argument to prove your position. Hurling insults only hurts your/our position and those who share it.
Third, if you want to be successful in your career, there is a process for doing so. I will share what a “sponsor” once taught me, and what I have taught to probably a hundred employees over the years. It works for everyone who performs each and every step:
1) Before all else, work hard at being kind to everyone. BE. KIND. TO. EVERYONE. Do it because it’s the right thing to do.
2) Repeatedly set lofty goals. Work hard to understand what it really takes to achieve those goals. Create plans to achieve the milestones along the way to achieving those goals. Work hard at quickly executing the plans. Execute with discipline.
3) WORK extremely hard at being extremely competent. Do so by obtaining broad knowledge and specialized skills that leverage your natural talents. Use your ever improving abilities to deliver excellence with everything you do. When you fail, own 100% of the failure. Learn from the failures. Never let it happen again.
4) Work hard at understanding the financials. You work at a business. Businesses make money. If you don’t understand the money, you don’t understand the business. You will make wiser and more impactful decisions as a result of your financial understanding of the business. You will see opportunities to work on early and often. As my old sponsor often said, “show me a Team member who knows the financials, and I will show you a Team member with a bright future”.
5) Understand how people “work”. You can almost always accomplish more when you are able to work well with others. You will almost always accomplish more when you know how to bring out the very best in people.
6) WORK HARD TO UNDERSTAND AND SOLVE YOUR BOSS’ PROBLEMS! Solve their boss’s problems as well. For entrepreneurs, your “Boss” is the customer.
7) Ensure your boss, and their bosses, knows what your goals are. Since you are their go to “problem solver”, they will be eager to help you get there. If they are not, get a different boss.
8) Work hard at repeating every step, every single day! This is a tough path to follow. But if I can do it, everyone can.
Lastly, if you want to “lift” others up as you climb the ladder, teach them these points. I was taught these decades ago. This is the path to success I followed. I am no one special. I do not have any advantage or talents m. It works. It works if you put in the work.
Just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Thanks.
No offense, but I hear a little too much _diversity_ in this talk. I have no problem with the term itself and I am a firm believer that good, competent, and hard-working people should be rewarded by helping them climb the ladder no matter of their background. However, just hiring people of a certain background to claim that you promote diversity is likely to achieve the opposite. Employees get fed up, when not the most competent/suitable person gets hired or even promoted. In addition, to keep the company under its potential, this is likely to cause a rift and destroy trust in the boss. It can also be bad for the reputation. The best example of recent times was the g-pandering of many companies. They made their logos for a short time into rainbow-thingies that were often hard to read and as soon as you changed the language or region setting, the rainbow was gone... Moreover, what exactly did they do to help the LGBTQ-community? That logo does nothing, even more so when it's just waving a flag for a short time...
Lastly, there's also a dark side to what she advocated, which has existed for centuries: cronyism.
I've seen a Romanian boss hiring as many Romanians and Polish people as she could, causing a divide in the workgroup between the three prevalent languages. To make things worse, her favoritism poured oil into the fire. Others did even worse jobs in helping others to climb the ladder in that they installed incompetent, but loyal supporters into key positions corrupting the entire place and causing a gradual and slow decline.
