One thing's for sure. If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting. One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.

Efficient management without effective leadership is, as one individual phrased, it, "like straightening deck chairs on the Titanic".

When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.

Anytime we think the problem is 'out there,' that thought is the problem. We empower what's out there to control us. The change paradigm is 'outside-in' - what's out there has to change before we can change. The proactive approach is to change from the 'inside-out': to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there - I can be more resourceful, I can be more diligent, I can be more creative, I can be more cooperative.

Time management is a misnomer, the challenge is to manage ourselves.

We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
