Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Getting it right:
• HAVE A CULTURE OF STARTING EXACTLY ON TIME. In the first week after President George W. Bush moved into the White House back in 2001, Karl Rovewho had about as much sway as an aide could havewas late for a meeting in the Oval Office. The president instructed an aide to lock the door. Rove was never late again.
• THANK PEOPLE FOR COMING AT EXACTLY THE START TIME. (It's your call whether you try locking the door.) For the rest of the meeting, you've established yourself as the voice of sanity.
• ASSIGN RESPONSIBILITY. Make clear who owns what and by when it needs to be done

You might reasonably wonder whether any of the Big Five traits could predict happiness and wealth and life satisfaction.
Only one does: Conscientiousness. Individuals who are more Conscientious earn and save more money, even after researchers adjust for intelligence, race, ethnicity, and education. Individuals who are more Conscientious are also significantly happier than individuals who are less Conscientious, and they are substantially more satisfied with their lives
