One of my favorite stories ever! Don't make this mistake with those you lead :)

Do you make this mistake with those you lead? Leadership Story

Do you make this mistake? Powerful leadership story on the power of seeing potential. I remember years ago a story I heard in Sunday School that has had an important impact on me all of my life. It was based on the legend of “Johnny Lingo.” Maybe some of you have heard it?

A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. ~Russell H. Ewing

There is a positive correlation between serving someone and love. The more we serve (fill buckets), the more we love (and that feels good; filling our own bucket). And the more we love, the more we want to serve. So the next time you are running on empty and need your own bucket filled – find someone else’s bucket and fill it. ~Michael Rogers, Teamwork and Leadership

So, I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that you are doing fine. There will be days that you will doubt that, but keep trying. There are valleys and there are peaks, the key is to focus on the peaks when you are in the valleys and recall the beautiful horizons from above that the past has provided you. ~Michael Rogers, Teamwork and Leadership

Do you like it when someone is checking their mobile device while you are talking to them? Are they rude, important, busy or all of the above?

Leaders, put down the BlackBerry! Or else…

Great Leaders Listen. There are some of us (and you know who you are, right?) who are in denial that they are addicted to devices such as BlackBerry’s and iPhone’s. A little while ago I was chastising one of my children for texting while we were having a family discussion.
