Basic principles still apply
Stay calm & carry on
As we near the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is lots of talk of the new normal. The world has changed, and we need to do things differently.
Now what? It’s worth remembering the old normal and the basic principles that still apply.
Here are a few reminders:
Look before you leap.
Just do it!
Treat employees well and they’ll treat customers well.
Buy low, sell high.
Do your homework.
Trust your instinct.
Watch short-term profit, but focus on long-term value.
Lead strategically, manage minutely.
Under promise, over deliver.
DON’T WASTE TIME!
Make your mother proud.
People and the planet come first.
You cannot over-communicate.
Stay healthy and be well.
An incomplete list, in no particular order. Even some apparent contradictions. So, make your own list of the principles that have worked for you in the past. Focus on those that still apply.
Be better. Do better.
