In the spirit of my previous post (simple, yet profound lessons), here are two total game changers that I learned in business school (of all places).
- Attitude is everything. We've all heard this maxim before, but only recently have I seriously reflected on its meaning. I have two personal examples of how a positive attitude - and nothing more - made the difference between success and failure: persevering through chemo and surgeries, and picking myself up last year after a few months at Fuqua totally beat me down.
- Knowing your values. In my Leadership and Ethics classes, we went through a few reflections on our core values. Few activities have given me as much clarity. Knowing, reflecting upon, and acting on one's values has given me a powerful explanation of past behavior and a guide for future behavior. Game changer.
