Ten Business Truisms

This is a condensed list originally written by BNET’s Steve Tobak. I like it, and thought I’d share it.

1. People won’t perform for those they don’t respect.
2. If you’re not passionate about what you’re doing, you won’t be successful at it.
3. When you have problems with others, look inside yourself for answers.
4. The workplace is about business, not you.
5. Conflict is healthy; anger is not. Get some help for that.
6. No matter how smart you are, wisdom only comes from experience.
7. Whine and complain all you want; nobody gives a crap.
8. You can BS others but you really can’t BS yourself.
9. The boss isn’t always right, but she’s still the boss.
10. The customer isn’t always right, but she’s still the customer
