5. The Excellent Professional
exhibits
an intrinsic knowledge of
the difference between right and
wrong,
shows the courage to act upon that
knowledge, and
embodies the following ethical
characteristics:

Respect for self, others, and the
environment

Empathy

Integrity

6. Whoever wants to achieve excellence,
wants to move from being good to great,
must focus on continuously upgrading
knowledge, skills, and technology, etc

7. Three keys
that can unlock excellence:
Vision,
Values,
Character
are the three important
invisibleinvisible keys that can
unlock excellence

8. These invisible things
(vision, values, and character)
are different from visible things
(Knowledge, skills, and technology)
because invisible things are
unique to an executiveunique to an executive
compared to the visible things
which can be found in any one
in the same rank.

9. Vision, Values, and Character
determine how
abilities,
knowledge,
skills, and
technologies
are to be used to the optimum.

10. Vision without values and
character, values without vision
and character, and character
without vision and values
are of no use.
They may have some impact
in a life of an executive, but
they may not have profound
impact.
When these factors work alone,
excellence is sporadic, not consistent.

11. Personal and professional excellence
Are both sides of the same coin ~
one leads to the other.

12. The key to professional excellence is
self-introspection,
personal SWOT analysis,
communication skill,
vision,
evaluation of professional context,
overcoming challenges at workplace, and
curiosity.
