Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.

Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.

Cats do what cats do, ducks do what ducks do, and eagles do what eagles, do. If you take a duck and ask it to do an eagles' job, shame on you. As a leader, your job is to help your ducks to become better ducks and your eagles better eagles - to put individuals in the right places and help them reach their potential.

Success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else.

If you're a leader, it's important to set aside time to quiet yourself and listen for God's direction.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. How do you gain influence from people? You invest in them. How do you invest in them? It starts with giving them time.

Your life begins to change when you change something you do every day.
