Have you ever thoughtabout what attributes are necessary for your job or your role? Or what attributes are necessary for your team?

Here are 5 attributes that if you chose to developwill help tolead to greater success for you or your organization: (Based on the work of Dr. Robert Hartman)

Attention To Detail--How do you see yourself as executing your job responsibilities? Is it as good as you would like? Is 'good' good enough? This is magnified more than ever now. Could you do more in terms of being thorough?

Conceptual Thinking --Is there anything you need to be doing differentlyto more accurately predict outcomes of your long-range plans? How well do you identify and evaluatewhat is necessary to execute yourlong range plans?This enhances your abilityto get unstuck or to get up that next mountain quicker.

Creativity --This is appreciation for new ways of thinking. Is it difficult or not difficult for you to come up with unique ideas of how things should be done? What have you done differently lately? Such thinking can be beneficial to a business.

Flexibility -- What is your ability to be open to new avenues? Can you change with minimal resistance or do you become locked into a rigid approach to a situation? Ideally you want to be able to change direction without significant stress or pressure.

Problem Solving -- What is your ability toassess all aspects of a problem, from identifying it to resolving it? How well do you identify alternative solutions and select the best options? If you were more creative and more flexible, would it improve your ability to manage through these times? I bet it would.

Re: Books for Business Owners - Hi DougSchadle, Thanks for sharing your favorite business book with us! A good book I'm reading now is "Maximum Achievement: Strategies and Skills That Will Unlock Your Hidden Powers to Succeed" by Brian Tracy as it was a birthday gift from a friend. Tracy's book is helpful in identifying what's important in your life and then setting an action plan to achieve it.
Working with Suppliers - Hi Mary, You're facing a very common issue for entrepreneurs. 2 suggestions I have for you: 1) Develop a personal relationship. Get to know your potential suppliers and meet with them face to face. If it's a meeting you set up or you find them at a tradeshow, etc get to know the people and they're much more likely to cut you a break. People want to work with people they know and like. 2) Have you considered smaller, local suppliers who see your business as more important?
If you don't ask you don't receive - Great article Shri. I agree that we don't do enough in our schools to help train our younger generations about important business skills and lessons such as negotiations. I was a part of Junior Achievement growing up and got the opportunity to work with fellow high school students to start our own enterprise. We received mentors, business templates, and had all the responsibilities of running a company with little risk attached. It was a great experience that I believed helped shape my views on entrepreneurship and led me to become a business owner. I wish all students would have the opportunity to be a part of such programs and improve their business IQ from a young age.
