\"\"<\/a>You know you do it. Neglect to write down that appointment and miss it. Dumb<\/em>. Lose that phone number in a messy pile of papers on your desk. Dumb<\/em>. Forget to file that report. Dumb. Dumb, dumb,<\/em> and dumber<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Harry talks about doing dumb things. Or more accurately\u2014not doing them. He\u2019s an author, former CEO of a big corporation, professor in the MBA program at a prominent university, and a partner in a private equity group. In other words\u2014he\u2019s no slouch.<\/p>\n

To meet him, he\u2019s just a regular guy. But regular guys don\u2019t accomplish all that he has. And they don\u2019t acquire a following of rock star proportions. Harry Kraemer recently wrote a book about values based leadership, and it\u2019s resonating with people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one bit of wisdom Harry has to share: You don’t have to be particularly smart, just don\u2019t do dumb things.<\/em> Thanks for the \u201caha\u201d moment, Harry! How often do you torture yourself for your failings, thinking someone smarter could have done it better?<\/p>\n

Success is all about attitude, planning, and using the smarts God gave you.\u00a0 Harry talks about values based leadership and he talks about values based living. How are you doing in leading with, and living your values? The workplace is not a place where you leave your faith at the door.<\/p>\n

Apply the principles of goodness, gratitude, and praise to your job.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be amazed at how those dumb mistakes you used to make all the time, become rare occurrences. In no time at all, you\u2019ll go from values to action, just as God intended.<\/p>\n
