My Work Mindsets
Good work mindsets develop professional behavior.
-
Principle-minded
Focus on the “why” behind things, not just “how”.
This helps enhance problem-solving skills and makes decisions more forward-looking and adaptable. -
Reliability-minded
Back up all data, and ensure every change has a rollback plan.
This minimizes the risk of unexpected failures and prevents irreversible damage. -
Ticket-minded
Track all tasks through tickets, rather than relying on emails or chats.
This keeps work organized and transparent, making follow-up easier. -
Automation-minded
Use tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, avoiding manual operations.
This saves time, increases efficiency, and reduces errors. -
Test-minded
Every change must be tested first.
Experience, trust, and confidence are all unreliable. -
Concise-minded
Prioritize data metrics, screenshots, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, mind maps, and spreadsheets when documenting and presenting.
Clear visual communication is more efficient and easier to understand than lengthy text. -
Knowledge-minded
Document experiences, acquired knowledge, and lessons learned.
This will prevent repeated mistakes, improve efficiency and transparency, and boost the team’s overall capability. -
Team-minded
Properly dividing tasks and collaborating helps avoid over-reliance on any individual and efficiently accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.
One person may go faster alone, but a team can go further together.
