Leadership Minute: Finish Strong!

Posted May 10, 2013
by admin

John Wooden said, “It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.” Welcome to Friday! Has it been a long week? Finishing strong is an essential trait of your leadership. After all, it’s not so much what you start that matters but in what you finish. Starting strong and finishing strong is made possible by having the right people in the right place all working in their area of strength. It’s easy to get weary in the battle and at times to let our guard down. Focus today on your strengths and what makes you and your team a success. The finish line is in sight. Run your race. Finish strong!

Leadership Minute: Live it!

Posted May 9, 2013
by admin

Søren Kierkegaard said, “The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen, but if one will, are to be lived.” Stop for a moment and consider the measure of your leadership. Are you living it? There comes a time in your life as a leader that contentment won’t be found with anything less than living it. As a leader, don’t fall into the trappings of popularity or being seen. The highest honor of leadership is discovered in serving others. The satisfaction of leadership is the purity of your motives. The reward of leadership is peace of mind and heart. Are you living it?

Leadership Minute: Know When To Let Go

Posted May 8, 2013
by admin

Abraham Lincoln said, “When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it’s best to let him go.” As a leader we have to know not only what is worth fighting for but when it’s time to let go. It could be that what we are holding on to is the very thing that we need to let loose such as a bad attitude or negative thoughts. Perhaps there is someone who is holding you back, pushing you down, or blocking your dreams—let them go. It’s when you turn loose of the negative influences that you free yourself to become all that you were meant to be. Let it go!

Leadership Minute: Are We Having Fun Yet?

Posted May 7, 2013
by admin

Amelia Earhart said, “Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun is worth the price.” By any measure, leadership can be tough. The demands are constant and there are usually bumps in the road. But there is a flip side. Despite the weight and responsibility that accompanies your leadership there is something to be said about the satisfaction that comes from knowing you are doing what you were born to do. The fun begins when you realize that it is not about a position or title, but in living your passions. When you discover your purpose you will find the joy. Are you having fun yet?

Leadership Minute: Play Your Hand Well

Posted May 6, 2013
by admin

Denis Waitley said, “Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.” Not every hand you are dealt is going to be a good one. It’s just the way life works. As a leader it is not so much the hand you are dealt but the attitude you choose that will set you apart. It’s easy to play a good hand well and create the outcome you desire. The test of your leadership is found in taking the poor hand you were dealt and playing it well. Everything happens for a reason. Your challenge is to find the purpose.

Leadership Minute: Keep Moving!

Posted May 3, 2013
by admin

Elbert Hubbard said, “The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.” I suppose it is just natural for someone to say, “It can’t be done.” Negative people are not necessarily hard to find. But as a leader it is important that you keep moving. Never put down stakes next to negative people whose only intent is to hold you back. Keep your sights high, your vision clear, and your purpose strong. Keep moving in the direction of your dreams!

Leadership Minute: Listen to the People in the Trenches

Posted May 2, 2013
by admin

Hans Finzel said, “Leaders by their very nature tend to be removed from the front lines of battle in the organization. Therefore they must listen to those in the trenches, relying on that information to make wise decisions.” It is a critical part of your leadership to listen to your people. It is essential that you listen to your front line people. Knowing, understanding, and responding to what it being said in the trenches positions you make better decisions and to deliver what they need to get the job done. Are you listening?

Walter Elliot said, “Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.” Let’s be honest, leadership can be demanding and it can take a personal toll. Running the race of leadership is not for the faint of heart. As you run your race and deal with the opportunities before you on this day, do so knowing that you are not alone. Find strength today in knowing that as you complete each short race you are one step closer to your goals and dreams. Stay strong. Dream big. Don’t give up!

Leadership Minute: Take Charge!

Posted April 30, 2013
by admin

Jim Rohn said, “Either you run the day or the day runs you.” And this is the challenge of your leadership. Are you taking charge of your day or are you letting it slip away from you? It slips away by not having a plan and allowing others to control your time and schedule. As a leader it is important to be flexible. The secret is to do so without relinquishing control. When you take charge of your day you are in command of your time, your priorities, and that which will give you the most in return. Remain calm and take charge of your day!

Leadership Minute: Be Yourself!

Posted April 29, 2013
by admin

Dr. Seuss said, “Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!” There is no one else like you. The talents, gifts and abilities that you have are unique to you. Leaders come in many styles and stripes and that is certainly true about you. The need in leadership is for authenticity. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Discover the unique God-given qualities that you have and use them to the best of your ability. When you discover the joy of doing that you won’t have time to think about being anything else. Be yourself!
