TIP #17 Be a Managed Self

A fast way to differentiate yourself at work is to be a managed self ...

** When we are accountable to ourselves for ourselves, we are a managed self.

** When we hold ourselves responsible for our actions, results, and behaviors we are a managed self.

** When we have higher standards for ourselves than others hold us to, we are a managed self.

** When we create our own disciplines to enhance our personal effectiveness and results, we are a managed self.

** When we set and reach our own goals and then establish new ones, we are a managed self.

** When we are responsive to change and receptive to input, we are a managed self.

As we realize who we become in life is up to us, we change our thinking and our results.
