The 3 Kinds of People You Want on Your New Strategic Project This question comes up quite often, here is my take: When you’re staffing a high-profile project, you want an all-star team. But it’s not enough to put your high performers on the task. There are three types of people who should be on the team of any breakthrough initiative. First, look for people who are comfortable with uncertainty. You need individuals who will remain curious and focused even when the project is far from the end goal. Second, be sure you have people who create structure within chaos and take action. These workers can drive a team forward even when circumstances change. Finally, find people who have a combination of three critical traits: divergent thinking (the ability to connect seemingly unrelated information and ideas); convergent action (the ability to execute on ideas and create something tangible); and influential communication (the ability to share knowledge in a coherent, compelling way). Lots of people have one of these critical traits, but your project team needs to have all of them.
Always leave the office on time I could go on for hours on this subject. I've seen families torn apart because parents put work before family. Last week, I went to a friend’s funeral(40 yrs old), passed away(cancer) probably caused by stress and working 12 hours a day. Always leave office on time, at work go beyond the call of duty, Work to live, don't live to work, Respect your boss, Give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay , Work ethically and morally upright, Work with joy and always a smile Machines can operate 24 hours a day with the right fuel. You cannot, balance your life, remember you have 24 hours a day, 8 hours to sleep, 8 hours to work, 8 hours of your own!
