Leaders never outgrow the need to change.

Maya Angelou observed you cant use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. Sadly,too often creativity is smothered rather than nurtured. There has to be climate in which new ways of thinking,perceiving, questioning are encouraged.

You cannot have growth without change.

I do a lot of conferences, a lot of leadership training. For about six or seven years I've been making this statement - every time I make it, I can see people just kind of - it's just one of those light bulb moments.

The key to becoming a more efficient leader isn't checking off all the items on your to-do list each day. It's in forming the habit of prioritizing your time so that you are accomplishing your most important goals in an efficient manner.

Because in life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with them. Stop failing backward and start failing forward!

If you want to become a better listener, however you need to learn to direct that energy and attention positively by concentrating on the person you're with.
