The person with a plan, a picture, will go after thoughts that add value to their thinking.

Diligent follow-up and follow-through will set you apart from the crowd and communicate excellence.

When you nurture people and add value to them without expecting anything in return, they feel significant.

TALENT PROVIDES HOPE FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT PERSEVERANCE GUARANTEES IT.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

To gain credibility, you must consistently demonstrate three things: Initiative: You have to get up to go up. Sacrifice: You have to give up to go up. Maturity: You have to grow up to go up. If you show the way, people will want to follow you. The higher you go, the greater the number of people who will be willing to travel with you.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.
