Your
Bad Boss isn’t going to provide you with realistic rules or guidelines for
success. Your Bad Boss is more likely to provide you with chaos, impossible
rules, or a vast wasteland of no guidelines whatsoever.
Yet
if you’re to succeed, you need some way to chart your course, to get yourself
on a good path regardless of your Bad Boss’s mismanagement.
Deborah L. Parker talks about
her uncle, Harris L. Parker--a man of many accomplishments--who served in the
army, was a Vietnam Veteran, Airborne Ranger and served in the community as a
Chief Magistrate and Honorable Chair of the Sussex County Virginia Board of
Supervisors. “He had rules he lived by that were constant in each environment.
His voice and value commanded attention,” she
says, and I would suggest are also rules that helped him achieve much in his
lifetime.
Parts
of the “creed” Parker says her uncle lived by are terrific guidelines for
success in the workplace.
- Always be organized and have a plan.
- Be firm in your character.
- Check in with … people and see how
they’re thinking.
- Take the time to do things right.
Four simple statements--yet
when lived by, are an excellent roadmap for your success.
