How To Work Better, Tate style

Today I was sneaking around behind the scenes at the Tate Modern London. I saw the following etched on a wall for the employees beginning their day.

How To Work Better

  1. Do one thing at a time
  2. Know the problem
  3. Learn to listen
  4. Learn to ask questions
  5. Distinguish sense from nonsense
  6. Accept change as inevitable
  7. Admit mistakes
  8. Say it simple
  9. Be calm
  10. Smile

It was spray painted on, which I guess is the modern art equivalent of a granite engraving.
