For leaders to be effective, they need to connect with people.

Take the emotional temperature of those listening to you. Facial expressions, voice inflection and posture give clues to a person's mood and attitude.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

People must learn how to think well to achieve their dreams and to reach their potential.

Growth today is an investment for tomorrow.
