| Short Answer: Self-awareness You will need to become very comfortable at being aggressive, yet very calculated. Pick your battles.. Empower your team to deal with the others. NO ONE LIKES A SHIT TALKER... just don't do it.. don't entertain it. If you are a KISS ass... ("Insert your own thoughts"). More meetings !== more productivity.. You should only be racing yourself, but glance to see your surrounding every so often, safety first. Enjoy what you do.. if you don't like the company.. leave. Build genuine relationships with boundaries, the world isn't so nice. Don't say you know something when you don't. NO MATTER WHAT.. don't talk if you have too, its called having standards. Paint a vivid path in your mind, and use OneNote to prevent you from loosing your mind. Organization is key, which isn't the same as being OCD. Respect your time, if you said 8am, get there at 8am, make it 7:50pm if your fly like that. You need to experience wars and understand what it means to resolve that trauma, everyone deals with trauma... resolve yours no matter the degree. Your unresolved projections build destructive cycles.. This is your responsibility as an adult even if you don't now what this means. Your brain is a system that is continually attempting to reach equilibrium, be aware of this. One hemisphere is trying to hold on the current paradigm and the other is trying to convince the other that it's paradigm is more emotionally beneficial. Old dogs don't learn new tricks? When your mind feels defensive or wants to protect itself, chemicals are released, which put your brain in a more primitive state. You are now more influenced by the other foreign neurochemical interactions you are participating in, you in control? All the time? Yeah me too :) Our brains are smart (you and the rest of the world haven't figured the damn thing out yet), and cannot handle the idea that an action wasn't completely their action to being with. And that's call backward rationalization, you smart silly goose. Make sure your emotions are balanced, and that includes excitement... I do not mean stop partying (loosen up).. BE BALANCED. There are some comments that you should just keep yourself, leave the weird shit for those that accept you and just ignore you when needed. Every interaction is another stroke on the canvas, don't forget to washes your brushes. Stop asking everyone how you make it. Listen and make sure you make it. You need to manage the politics without talking to anyone about the politics. You do not include these skills on your resume. *Oh yeah, did I say BE SELF-AWARE? It's a life style not a thought process :) |
