“When leaders take the risk to place their confidence in us, even before we have earned it, it gives us the strength to face adversity without excuse. It gives us the courage to live beyond our self-imposed limits!”
“When we finally choose to listen to someone, we will begin to slowly turn down the volume around us and make a connection with that person, which is the foundation of winning teamwork.”
“When you find yourself focusing on the people you lead rather than just tasks to complete, then you have transitioned into making people your priority.”
“When you give away genuine appreciation, it is mirrored back to you in improved attitudes, stronger commitment, and better performance.”
“You can be appointed someone’s boss but not their leader. Your followers ultimately determine your leadership.”
