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.’

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.’
