An Interesting Article About Tips For Success From Li Ka-shing

8 (Genuine!) Tips For Success From Asia's Richest Man Li Ka-shing
8 points from the article:

  • As a leader, one should spend more time than others planning for the future.
  • I do not get overly optimistic when the market is good, nor overly pessimistic when the market is down.
  • A good reputation for yourself and your company is an invaluable asset not reflected in the balance sheets.
  • It doesn’t matter how strong or capable you are; if you don’t have a big heart, you will not succeed.
  • To be a successful manager, attitude and ability are equally important ingredients. A leader inspires others to greatness. A boss dominates his subordinates and makes them feel small.
  • Though a universal formula for success is difficult to come by, caution signs for failure are posted everywhere. Establishing a structure that serves to minimize failure will prove to be a shortcut to success.
  • Successful managers should also have a keen eye for talent. They not only select people who are smarter than themselves, but also avoid picking corporate superstars whose reputation precedes them.
  • The art of good management lies in the capacity to accept change, and the ability to meld new and traditional thinking.
