2. Excellence in today’s highly competitive workplace demands more than
a thorough knowledge of your specialist field.
People skills, such as the ability to inspire others, foster a sense of co-
operation, and delegate effectively, are of critical importance. Equally
vital is the mastery of a range of practical skills-from effective analytical
skills to time management-and a confident, determined attitude
towards your career.
A balanced mix of all these elements is what differentiates a competent
manager from an outstanding one. Practical advice is supplemented by
101 indispensable tips.
Those 101 tips can be divided under 4 major ideas which are:
1) Developing your potential
You can develop your potential by focusing on key attributes.
Human beings have many talents that can be turned into engines
of success. Yet the best performance requires more than talent: it
involves developing a number of important personal strengths,
including determination, vision, and confidence.
2) Improving your skills
We can improve our skills by increasing learning, as our career
advances and jobs become more complex and important.

3. 3) Becoming more effective
We may become more effective through boosting creativity.
Everybody has creative powers and can learn to use them. By
opening your mind and changing your approach, you will discover
that ideas come easily.
4) Achieving success
Dispassionate and methodical analysis of goals is essential to the
success of your vision. But situations can change. You must be
prepared constantly to reassess and adapt your ideas as
necessary. Use this assessment process to find ways to take
decisive action.
