Achievers

ACHIEVERS

            Usually the person who rises within an organization has a good attitude.  The promotions did not give that individual an outstanding attitude, but an outstanding attitude resulted in promotions.  A recent study by Telemetrics International concerned those “nice guys” who had climbed the corporate ladder.  A total of 16,000 executive were studied.  Observe the difference between executive defined as “high achievers” (those who generally have a healthy attitude) and “low achievers” (those who generally have an unhealthy attitude):

            High achievers tended to care about people as well as profits; love achievers were preoccupied with their own security.

            High achievers viewed subordinates optimistically; low achievers showed a basic distrust of subordinates’ abilities.

            High achievers sought advice from their subordinates; low achievers didn’t

            High achievers were listeners; low achievers avoided communication and relied on policy manuals.
