Knowing Yourself

Know your innate qualities - ask yourself: "Whether I produce results as a decision-maker or an adviser?" If you are not a Decision Maker, don't take decision-making assignments.

Understand your learning style: how you absorb information better – through seeing, reading or through listening? Knowing your style is the first thing to know about how you perform. Once you understand which is your naturally dominant learning style you are in a position to improve the way you perform. "Don't try to change yourself – it is unlikely to be successful. But work, and hard, to improve the way you perform. And try not to do work of any kind in a way you do not perform or perform badly", advised Peter Drucker.

Work Smart and Hard

The awareness of how we do what we do is the key to self-management and influence. Study what works for you and for others by practicing NLP technology of achievement principles in order to realize your true potential.

Promise anonymity to encourage honest opinions.

Develop Others

Developing people is achieved by careful, planned and motivational delegation of responsibility and duty. Trust and know your colleagues. Organizations are no longer built on force. They are built on empowerment and trust. Rather than relying on your powers, provide a spur, use the powers within people... More

Coaching

One of the "hot" areas of personal, professional, and business development is coaching.

Peter Drucker advice

It is the vision and moral responsibility that, in the last analysis, define the manager.
