The best way to learn is to be quiet. Listen to the people you work with and process what they say. Study the content of a conversation and think about what they are saying. Enroll yourself in The School of Thought. The more you hear, the more you listen and the more you measure the information, the more you have to gain.
Put yourself on ‘mute’ and pay attention to what’s happening around you. I promise there are so many benefits and the dividends will advance your career and your life.
Find out who the smart ones are. Find out who can be a mentor. Look for the people that can and will help you. Once you discover who they are, make yourself available and be quiet. They will open your eyes and ears – while your mouth is shut.
Be an observer. Concentrate and pay attention to the details. Don’t say something just to be heard. Say something that needs to be heard. Think about solutions that create results.
When you are called upon, be ready. Be prepared to add something meaningful.
It’s all about added value, that’s what we are looking for in ourselves and in our teammates.
