Evaluate your own behavior
1. If everybody where I work was just like me, what would
this place be like?
2. If my face froze in my most common expression, what
would it be?
3. If as many people helped me today as I helped others,
how much help would I get?“
4. If today was videoed for my peers, what would be their
criticisms? What would be their accolades?
5. If I became just like the two people I choose to be
around the most at work - what would I become?"
How are you "the change you wish to see in the world"?
