‘Work is the expression of our energy and our dreams.’

‘Significance requires trust, and trust comes from consistently keeping promises.’

‘Agency gives us control over our time, and it encourages us to choose what our contribution looks like.’

‘Dignity flows from agency, allowing us to be treated as humans, not cogs.’

Seth Godin

‘Tools can create efficiency, but value can only come from change, from humanity, and from the rare form of connection that comes with significance.’

‘What you look like is far less important than the ability to involve others in your journey.’

‘The people you lure to follow instructions are rarely the people who will help you build something of innovation and substance.’

‘

‘Leadership is the art of creating something significant.’-

Seth Godin

‘If we care enough to build the best job you ever had, the team notices. And if people who care build something that they’re proud of, the market notices.’

‘Leaders don’t need authority, but they must coordinate the trust, focus, and connection of people who are enrolled in a journey to do work that matters.’

‘Yes’ And ‘No’

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘Every decision about yes and no really comes down to how you’re going to spend your time.’

‘No is how you protect yourself and others from making bad commitments, dedicating resources trying to do things that cannot be done (not possible), are not allowed (against the rules), or that on balance, should not be done ( a bad idea or not the next top priority).

‘Every good no makes room for a better yes.’

‘Yes is the beginning of a collaboration, the start of something.’

‘Every good yes is a chance to make the most of a good opportunity and serve others by adding value and building your real influence.’

‘Every good no – or not yet– makes room for a better opportunity.’

‘Every bad yes is a waste of time, energy, and money that will crowd out a better opportunity.’

‘Every bad no is a missed opportunity or a delayed ( and maybe soured) opportunity if the no gets overturned.’

‘Every yes is a commitment, and every commitment deserves to be taken seriously and honored with a good plan and focused execution.’

‘Plan the work so that you can work your plan.’
