When you double-check
your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research
paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in
any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you
spend with clients or write e-mails.
John wooden, UCLA’s
former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national
championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of
things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most
important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any
worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and
tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them
how.
