Whether you like change or you do not like change, it is happening right now.

If you want to renew yourself, to grow yourself, you have got to embrace change.

How?

‘You’ll have to deal with the tension between the stability that gives security and the adaptability that opens up opportunity.’

‘We must be willing to let go of what worked yesterday and learn new ways of seeing, doing, and leading.’

‘… We must stop wishing and start working. Instead of looking for the ‘secret sauce’ of success, we must start sowing seeds of success.’

‘Don’t hesitate to help another person by sowing a positive seed in his or her life.’

‘Don’t allow failure to be a bully in your life.’

‘You must be willing to admit where you’re wrong so that you can discover what is right.’

‘What you think about yourself determines the investment you will make in yourself.’

‘No matter what you want to do in life, you have to face reality, and you have to be willing to pay the price required to go uphill.’

‘Having the right attitude is essential because your actions often carry more weight than your words.’

‘If you fall down, you should learn from it, get up, and step forward.’

Leadership is self-leadership. To lead other people, you must first lead yourself. To develop other leaders, you must first put yourself through it.

‘You must develop the person before you begin developing the leader.’

‘It’s very difficult for people to rise up if their leader refuses to put the wind of development under their wings.’

‘Your ability to develop others is dependent on what you know and what you know how to do.’

‘The only way for any person to learn leadership is to lead. Leading isn’t a theoretical exercise.’

‘If you want to develop leaders, you need to encourage them to begin practicing their leadership and giving them a place to do it.’

‘When you develop leaders, you need to prepare them today to seize opportunities in the future based on their giftedness.’

‘When you develop leaders, the most important thing you can do is let them know what you’re thinking and why.’

‘As you develop leaders, help them to cultivate their creative thinking ability. Encourage them to push the boundaries of what’s possible.’

‘When people get to weigh in on their development, they more readily buy in to owning their personal growth progress.’

‘If you will sweat with your people, they can handle the heat.’

‘When people understand that you’re in it with them, they’re more likely to engage with you.’
