Secrets To Success

1. Ben Zander Shares His 6 Secrets to Success
1. Visualize your role as a leader, not as the central figure of control, but getting
players to explore the possibilities. When you make a mistake, or others do,
respond with "How fascinating!" and don't place blame.
2. Opportunities always lie in reframing the question and examining the
assumptions you and your teammates are taking for granted and don't realize
you are making. Anyone in the organization can identify and challenge
assumptions, so get started today and engage in the exploration.
3. You'll never live a full life complaining. Today's reality often seems fixed with
strong competition and grim goals. Take the perspective of "what if" and "what's
next" and never lose sight of the broader vision.
4. Distinguish the "downward spiral" from "radiating possibilities," reliably and
consistently. When things are defined as WIN/LOSE you constrain possibilities.
5. The secret to life is "all is invented" and "all is in the perception and framed in
your perspective."
6. Remember Rule #6 (when others are overcome by problems): "Don't take
yourself so seriously." Essentially, turn everything to a positive and never
complain, and you will stay closer to the track that will open possibilities.
Tension never releases possibilities.
