Last week, Professor Klinkowstein provided us with a paper detailing the characteristics of a Strategic Designer. It told us we should be zoomers (able to look at the big picture as well as the details), know the design process, be able to do anything and know that we don't have to do everything.
This week, Seth Godin details in his blog entry "The hierarchy of success" about what he believes to be the secret to success. He tells us that the last thing we should be concerned about is execution. Really it's about our attitude and how we handle the problem that allows us to succeed. His list is:
1. Attitude
2. Approach
3. Goals
4. Strategy
5. Tactics
6. Execution
It's definitely true that execution is an important part of creating a project and having it go well. However, this is only the smallest part of the problem. First we need to have the right attitude toward the project. If we think it's too overwhelming and give up, or if we think it is not important to pay attention to the details, we will not be able to create something successful.
This is true of everything in life as well. When we have the right attitude we are able to do anything and learn from everything we do.
