LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
– Slow down to speed up. In other words, take the time to learn every part well so you can do each one more quickly.
– Three things to ensure momentum: 1. Know what steps to take, 2. Know how to take those steps, and 3. Actually take those steps.
– The difference between great companies and many small businesses is that great companies come up with detailed plans with contingencies, and many small businesses just “wing it.”
– When you don’t have specificity in what you want to accomplish, you won’t stay focused on your work. Essentially, when you know what gaps needs to be filled, your mind will work to fill in those gaps.
– When opportunity arises, be prepared to step up and be courageous enough to take advantage of that opportunity.
– These days, you are not just competing with competitors for attention; you’re just competing for attention.
QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION
– What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? “Riding the wave”—be prepared for when opportunity comes.
– Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Visionary, clear, and passionate.
– What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? What value am I adding?
– What book would you recommend to leaders? Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard
– If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Be conscious of taking a daily step to improve yourself.
– As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why not?” because it is important to be bold. “Why?” can lead to paralysis, and “why not?” can open up new opportunities.
