Idol Majima
President at Majima Construction
- Never. Ever. Joke about a person’s intellect, body shape or career. Not unless you want to create resentment and destroy your friendship with others.
- Don’t speak openly of your achievements. Let others find out naturally. The “wow” impact would be greater too.
- If someone pays you a compliment, accept it and say “thank you”. Don’t be overly humble and reject the compliment.
- Don’t ask “anyone can help me with this?” Specifically delegate a person. Otherwise, everyone’s going to be waiting for someone to volunteer, which will never happen.
- Use praise strategically. Don’t give it too easily, but deliver it when it’s well deserving.
- Deploy punishment tactfully. You don’t want your subordinates (if you’re in a leadership position) to be discouraged by constant scolding, but neither do you want them to feel that they can get away with anything. Be understanding, but remind them occasionally that you mean business.
- Sound decisive. Don’t ramble, mumble or use “uh” and “um” excessively. It makes you look less competent.
- Don’t complain.
- If you’re good at a particular skill, never do it for free.
- Master your craft. Stand out from the others. Be irreplaceable.
