Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

DONATE YOUR TIME
When you attend meetings of that committee, develop the habit of
raising your hand. Volunteer for assignments. Volunteer to write
things. Volunteer to do work that needs to be done.
The rule is this: In every organization, fewer than 10 percent of
the people do most of the work. On any committee, fewer than 20
percent of the people do more than 80 percent of the work on that
committee.Your goal is to be among that top 10 to 20 percent.
The most important committees attract the best and most im-
portant people in the association. These are the kinds of people that
you want as part of your reference group. These are the kinds of
people that you want to form relationships with. These are the kinds
of people whose names you want for your Rolodex, and who you
want to be a part of your professional network.
