Until you accept total responsibility - no matter what - you won't be able to put plans in place to accomplish your goals.

You have to escape from management land and get in touch with your people.

The success of any change depends, in large measure, on your attitude about that change.

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.

Frequently, the difference between success and failure is the resolve to stick to your plan long enough to win.

When you accepted your job, you were not chosen solely to fill a position on the organization chart; you were chosen to fill a responsibility.

It is rare for people to say they want to be held accountable, but in reality, everyone wants everyone else to be held accountable.
