‘Business context is always changing, and cultures need to evolve along with those changes.’

‘A great way to start making a Culture Shift is to look at what’s happening inside your company that fits the culture you want and build on it.’

‘It is only through planning that you can know your Vital Goals and whether you and your team are doing the right things for the right reasons at the right time.’

‘You must be consistent with your goals and with your message, or people will stop taking you seriously.’

‘When people know what is expected of them and there is nowhere in the company to hide, goals are achieved at a greater magnitude and with greater consistency.’

‘The math of business isn’t sexy, and sometimes it is hard work to capture and post the data. But if you understand its application, you will always have the edge over competitors, thereby leading to victory.’

‘Measurement enables us to improve our performance by providing a standard against which we can accurately gauge that performance.’

‘Know the attributes and qualities you want in your idea candidate before you begin recruiting.’

‘What gets reinforced becomes a part of the culture, and what does not get reinforced dissipates.’

‘Top performers are obsessed with training and practice. They don’t just achieve greatness and then coast through the rest of their career. They keep striving to be the best.’

‘Why do people want passion in a leader?’

Erika Andersen

‘A truly passionate leader invites and encourages dialogue. She wants others to share in her passion, not simply tolerate or be railroaded by it.’

‘Leaders who are farsighted are realistic … and future oriented.’

‘Speaking from a we versus I perspective arises out of a belief that we are responsible for success, that we will work together to achieve the goals of the organization.’

‘Learning begins inside your own head, in managing how you’re talking to yourself about the obstacles before you.’

‘If we align ourselves behind a leader, we want that person to stay the course: we don’t want him or her to get bored, or distracted, or careless, and wander away from the fray.’

‘… Courageous leader also has the courage to change her mind in response to new information and take full responsibility for both the initial position and the new one.’

‘Courage in a leader is a blend of toughness, decisiveness, willingness to move past one’s own limitations, humility, and resilience. It involves making difficult business and personal decisions, overcoming fear and risk to act on those decisions, and responding to the outcomes of those decisions in a responsible way.’

‘People want courageous leaders in order to know that someone will make the tough calls and take responsibility for them.’-

‘When people observe their leader behaving courageously over time, they are much more willing to follow him or her into new territory.’

‘When the leader lacks courage, people feel as though they need to protect themselves. They tend to withdraw their commitment from the team and the enterprise and the enterprise try to figure out how to mitigate the personal impact of their leader’s lack of courage.’
