POWER TIPS FOR CIVIL SERVANTS



  1. Always ask what new things can be done to improve the organization.  It will help focus on opportunities rather than complaints
  2. Try creating opportunities to excel.  Do not wait for opportunities to come.  Search for it by:
    1. Being aware of surrounding environment
    2. Talking to people
    3. Listening to challenges faced by others
  3. Be responsible for own self-development.  Do not put the responsibility on others.
  4. Develop a hearty hatred towards authoritarian leadership style.  People gets kill off when they always pointed out things to be done.  Instead, put it by saying “Why not…..” and “What if…..”
  5. Cultivate a discipline of conscious listening.  More information will be gathered when appropriate attention is given to people.
  6. Think about great ideas first, then only think about money.
  7. Always tell a story to accompany a Big Ask.
