All About HBR

This page is specially aimed to collect and memorize some inspiring words on Harvard Business Review (HBR) magazine.

 

You do not have to wait for the zenith of your career to venture outside yours. In other words, do not wait until the zenith of your career to step out of your comfort zone.

You have got to be really good to last. You really do. You are not going to get by just on being popular. So I am really just trying to learn and get better. Being rich is not about having a lot of money. Being rich is about having lots of options.

You do not need to be the best in the word; you just need to be the best one there. You can be a big fish in a little pond, and if you are the biggest fish in that environment, you get bigger and can then start to do things outside the organization.

When leaders help their team understand the vision of what is possible to achieve and the why in what they do, they inspire the team with a passion to creatively find the how to achieve huge results.

“Together” is a tremendously important word, but a more important one is “trust”. If I believe your motivation is based purely on your needs, desires, and self-promotion, mere words will not motivate me. I have to know that you have my best interest at heart, as well as your own. Leaders need to display honesty, integrity, and loyalty to their people. Then they may deserve the right to say, “We are in this together.”
