attitude accomplishment action
Your attitude determines your actions, and your actions determine your accomplishment.
leadership moving self
Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.
leadership people purpose
People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.
leadership vision stubborn
Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.
leadership holiday journey
I vividly remember a conversation I had many years ago in 1974, which marked a turning point in my leadership journey. I was sitting at a Holiday Inn with my friend, Kurt Campmeyer, when he asked me if I had a personal growth plan. I didn't. In fact, I didn't even know you were supposed to have one.
leadership exercise long
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
leadership pride stubborn
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
leadership vision alive
Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
leadership pride self
There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
real greatness numbers
One is too small a number to achieve greatness. No accomplishment of real value has ever been achieved by a human being working alone.
heart giving people
People do not give from the top of their purses but from the bottom of their hearts. If you desire to become a more generous person do not change your income. Change your heart.
dream motivation goal
Goals not only help you develop initial motivation by making your dreams obtainable, but they also help you continue to be motivated and that creates momentum.
team responsibility hands
Team leaders have to connect with their team and themselves. If they don't know their team's strengths and weaknesses, they cannot hand off responsibilities to the team. And if they don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, they will not hand off responsibilities to the team.
team winning player
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
