1. "Godliness is profitable unto all things" (1 Timothy 4:8).
I think this scripture really applies to what we talked about in class today. As we were talking about love, consideration, courage, intrinsic motivation and having common goals within an organization, I couldn't help but realize that all these qualities and methods of management are all things that we are taught in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We learn about all these qualities and many more every time we go to church. I believe that if we live the principles of the gospel and seek to improve upon our abilities to follow those principles, we will be more successful in all aspects of our lives, whether in business, family or personally related.
2. Be The Solution.
A powerful insight that I had in class today came to me when when Brother Adams talked about how he got his job as the night manager at the Wilkinson Center. He was a solution to their problem. Because he was a solution, they couldn't live without him. They actually created a position that didn't exist and then hired him to that position so that they could have his talents in their organization.
3. Do not be "commanded in all things" (D&C 58:26).
I have never thought of this scripture applying to my career and things outside the Church. This is very sound advice for those who want to be successful and work their way up in a corporation. If you do work and projects that need to be done and do it not only when you are assigned to, you will definitely get the attention of the managers. You will be a much more valuable asset to the company and will have a good chance of moving up in position within the company.
