You’re not perfect, so…

  • Make the best plans you can given the information you have now.
  • Don’t beat yourself up when things start to fall apart.
  • Apologize if you are wrong and that will improve the atmosphere.
  • Listen to others, but ultimately follow your gut.
  • Take time off once in a while.
  • Know that you can’t always control the situation.
  • Remember that people don’t think like you do.
  • Take risks, understanding that increases your chances of failure.
  • Spend five minutes regretting a mistake and a lifetime allowing it to make you stronger.

This post was written for teamwork in the office, but I’m sure you can apply it elsewhere.
