Recruitthebest Daily Digest- Turning Excuses Into Results

Here is the good news: ‘You are the Source of Your Suffering- and That’s the Good News.’

Choose to be happy. ‘Happiness is not correlated to perfect circumstances or a lack of stress in your life, but to the amount of personal accountability you accept.’

Ask yourself, ‘What am I missing?’ Because ‘what is missing from a situation is that which you are not giving.’

Do not feed your ego. ‘A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul of a leader.’

Stay away from micromanaging people. ‘If you feel you have to over-manage or micromanage, it is because you are under-leading.’

Stop hiring and promoting the wrong people. ‘You will have problem employees for as long as you continue to hire them and put up with them.’

Take action. ‘It is nearly always action– not opinion- that adds the most value.’

Always do what you say you are going to do. Because ‘clarity is the source– not the product- of a highly efficient and successful team.’

‘Trust is a choice.’

Recruitthebest Daily Digest- How To Grow Your Organization

Leadership development is self-development. To develop other leaders, you must start with yourself.

‘If developing ourselves as leaders is a lifelong process, then we should also expect the development of others in leadership to be an ongoing process that never ends.’

‘Grow a leader- grow the organization. A company cannot grow throughout until its leaders grow within.’

‘The strengths of any organization is a direct result of the strength of its leaders. Weak leaders equal weak organizations. Strong leaders equal strong organizations.

‘Good leaders want more for the people they lead than they want from them.’

‘If you desire to attract and develop leaders, you need to have the wind blowing with you, not against you.’

‘Leaders who genuinely listen and keep confidences gain the trust of the people they work with.’

‘Listening draws people to you, which works much better than trying to push your leadership on them. Empathy builds trust.‘

‘You can never get the best out of people if you don’t know who they are, where they want to go, what they care about, how they think, and how they want to contribute.’

‘As a leader, one of the most important things you can do with anyone you want to develop is to understand and connect with him or her.’

‘No matter how busy you are or how demanding your leadership situation, you will only be able to equip potential leaders effectively if you take the time to gather them close to you and invest time in them.’

‘The way you expand your potential is to help others expand theirs.’
