If you want to get ahead in your life, if you want to change your life, the direction of your life, you must ‘get shit done!’

According to John maxwell, ‘You cannot change direction if you aren’t aware that you’re not headed where you want to go.’

‘When you do things for the right reason, it gives you inner strength when things go wrong.’

‘If you want to change and grow, then you must know yourself and accept who you are before you can start building.’

‘You must have some kind of criteria for knowing if the desire you have matches the abilities you possess.’

‘You cannot win if you do not begin!’

‘You shouldn’t be concerned about what others might think of you. You should be concerned about what you think of yourself.’

‘Your future is dependent on your personal growth. Improving yourself daily guarantees a future filled with possibilities.’

‘If you want to grow, don’t try to win big. Try to win small.’

‘… but if you want to actually grow, your focus needs to be on today.’

‘If you have the motivation you need, discipline is no problem. If you lack motivation, discipline is always a problem.’

The Impact Of Great Leadership In The Workplace

Leadership is not about what you know. It is not about what you can do for yourself. It is not about your title. It is not about who you know.

Leadership, real leadership, is about how you make other people feel. It is about how you treat other people. It is about what you do for others, not about what you do for yourself.

The question is, according to Tim Irwin, ‘Do you want to make an impact?’

Because leadership is about impact; it is not about power.

According to Tim, ‘The purpose of power is to implement strategies and to reach difficult goals while valuing and respecting the team that accomplishes the goals.’

‘When we have power we must exercise great self-awareness, wrap it in humility, and rein in its deleterous effects.’

‘Effective leaders must be ruthlessly intolerant of any self-deception.’

‘If arrogance is the mother of all derailers, humility is the mother of all safeguards.’

‘Effective self-regulation frees us from the tyranny of our impulses.’

‘Authentic leaders express a personal narrative alongside their vision and goals for the organization.’

‘Inspiring others to give themselves unreservedly to the mission is not a management technique. Effective leadership is far more personal.’

‘Even in our most glaringly candid moments we are reluctant to acknowledge that some of our inclinations are, at least, ineffective, if not dishonorable. Denial provides a safe way to sidestep our tension- or at least it seems that way.’

‘By bringing the issue into the light of the day, you often realize what the right decision is.’

‘Management is positional. Leadership is personal.’
