Winners like to work with other winners. If you want to build a great business, you must hire the best. Because only the best can give you the best.

When you hire average, you get average. When you hire the best, you get the best. When you are around the best, you attract more excellent people into your world.

‘Work on your people, not for your people.’

‘Great leaders aren’t necessarily great coaches, but great coaches are great leaders.’

‘Complacency can be just as dangerous to the team’s morale as negativity.’

‘Managers spend too much time with the people who need the attention instead of those who deserve the attention.’

‘The way to move the middle up is to chop off the bottom and grow the top.’

‘A true game plan needs consistent reviewing, adjustments, and updates.’

‘We will do only what we are held accountable to do.’

‘Just because it has never been done doesn’t mean it can’t be done.’

‘Challenges make you go bigger.’

‘What makes you great is not what you’ve been doing for fifteen years- what makes you great is you.’

Why Managing Others Is Not Easy

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

‘Management is not your passion; your real job is.’

‘Managing is the high-wire act of balancing useful guidance and getting out of the way.’

‘Management is about communication, rapport, morale, and productivity.’

‘Thinkers lead with their heads; feelers lead with their hearts.’

‘It is important to care about your staff, to show them you really like them as possible. You’ll also feel better about yourself by demonstrating your warmth toward others.’

‘The only way you can aspire to managerial greatness is by channeling yourself.’

‘Your sole areas of direct responsibility are your thoughts, your words, and your actions.’

‘Nearly always, when we attribute a belief or opinion to someone else it means we have it ourselves.’

‘People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.’

‘Lead with questions. And listen to the person giving the answers. You’ve always lost if you think you know the answers.’

‘There’s always another choice.’
