One of the main things for a leader is to eliminate confusion.

Enthusiasm is something you can't fake, and it has a tremendous effect on everyone around you.

Every successful person has faced, attacked, and conquered adversity somewhere along the way.

Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

There is no 'grand conspiracy' preventing your from accomplishing what you need to do.

You can help determine your team's enthusiasm for the change by focusing on the entrance of potential while you are working through the exit of the past.

For you to be successful and provide your employees with the necessary tools for success, you and your boss must work together - no matter what.
