Book Review (How to get ahead in life?)‏

Dear Readers,  
  
Why certain people make it to the top and others don’t? What are the qualities which make an ordinary employee CHIEF EXECUTIVE of a company?

What are the criteria by which boss judge his or his employees? These are the ideas not taught at Harvard Business School! – CADIF? 

Here is the CADIF principle:

1.       Commitment: Total commitment to the work.
2.       Attention to details: Pay attention – devil lies in details!
3.         Immediate Follow up: Keep tracking!

Can you look good without necessarily making someone else look bad? What are the rules of the game?

Rule 1:          Survival of the fitterst
Rule 2:          Your peers are your natural allies
Rule 3: There is always a system – work through it

Don’t change the system, work through it. Try to make things easier for others.

Think: What do you do beyond your job description?

Who are the people who get ahead in life?
Those are the people who have an inner drive to perform a task well, no matter how small it may seem.

Carpenters who become contractors at one time had a need to drive a nail straighter than any one else. Waiters who end up owning restaurants were at one time very good waiters!

Here are three hardest phrases to say:

1.         I don’t know
2.         I need help
3.         I was wrong

Mark McCormack explains that if you don’t know some thing, admit it and then find some one who knows. Learn from him / her. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. A mistake is not a mistake when you commit it. A mistake is a mistake when you repeat it. If a person learns from mistake, take corrective action and learns, he or she can get ahead from others!
