Who doesn’t want to make the world a better place?

While we may vaguely wish for world peace or flippantly post cliches about change on Facebook, Inc’s Jeff Haden has eight incredibly powerful yet simple phrases to put into action at work and in our everyday lives that can make an enormous difference where it counts.

I will answer the unasked question.

Maybe they’re hesitant. Maybe they’re insecure. Maybe they’re shy. Whatever the reason, people often ask a different question than the one they really want you to answer.

One employee might ask whether you think he should take a few business classes; what he really wants to know is whether you see him as able to grow in your organization. He hopes you’ll say you do and he hopes you’ll share the reasons why…

Pay attention so you can answer that question, too, because that is the answer the other person doesn’t just want, but needs.

I will refuse to wait.

You don’t have to wait to be discovered. You don’t have to wait for an okay. You don’t have to wait for someone else to help you.

You can try to do whatever you want to do. Right now.

You may not succeed. But you don’t have to wait.

Don’t wait.
