There is great power in asking the right question(s). People will have to focus on the right problem(s).
Teamwork makes things fun. Nothing worthwhile happens with one single person acting alone.
Every time we stare down fear and overcome it we get stronger! Don’t let other people’s smaller ideas (prejudice) about you define you. Don’t give them you tears.
Motivating a team is everything--moving in one direction. Management is about producing results and doesn’t require a lot of motivation. Leadership is about sending people in a new direction and that takes a great deal of motivation.
Changing the order of things forces people to face fear. Give people a vision that is more compelling than what they are afraid of. People must believe where they are going is worth their time and talent.
Leadership is about seeing potential in others. Leadership is about unlocking potential in others. Leadership is about seeing something in others they are yet to see in themselves.
If a leader believes in leadership development they must continue to develop themselves. Every life moment presents an opportunity to learn. Leaders must create leadership learning environments for those they lead. This will require an investment. One of the keys to leadership development is making that expectation very clear. Every leader should say this to those who follow, “I expect you to grow as a leader!”
Leadership requires both passion and dispassion. (It is very interesting to see these two words together). Passion is required or we will not be able to fulfill the mission. Dispassion is required because it allows us to see things and people as they really are. Passion can blind as well as motivate.
Over time, people have a tendency to forget the real values. People are people where ever you find them. Sometimes people will act in ways they shouldn’t.
There is a gift in everything if we will only see it.
We're off to lunch!
