All our work happens through people– one relationship and one conversation at a time.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening, and we are not listening when we are doing anything else.’

‘To listen deeply, we need to emphasize our focus and attitude toward the other person.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening.’

‘Trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, and the level of trust that people have in each other is the most significant measure of those relationships.’

Without trust, you cannot succeed as a leader. With it, there are no limits to what’s possible.’

‘It takes time and work to build trust. It takes only a nanosecond to break it. However, the deeper the trust, the more possible it is to rebuild it.’

Courage is the quality of the mind or spirit that enables us to face physical or moral difficulty, danger, pain, and other hardships and walk toward and through them anyway.’

Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’-

‘Choose a change process, and communicate it to everyone who will be affected, and then pull rather than push change in your organization.’

‘When you engage your people, empower them to have a voice in decisions, and embed the changes in the fabric of your organization, you will have a good shot at ‘buy in,’ and that means that the change is likely to stick.’

What Great Leaders Do

Leadership is self-leadership. To lead other people, you must first lead yourself. To develop other leaders, you must first put yourself through it.

You must develop the person before you begin developing the leader.’

It’s very difficult for people to rise up if their leader refuses to put the wind of development under their wings.’

Your ability to develop others is dependent on what you know and what you know how to do.’

The only way for any person to learn leadership is to lead. Leading isn’t a theoretical exercise.’

If you want to develop leaders, you need to encourage them to begin practicing their leadership and giving them a place to do it.’

When you develop leaders, you need to prepare them today to seize opportunities in the future based on their giftedness.’

When you develop leaders, the most important thing you can do is let them know what you’re thinking and why.’

As you develop leaders, help them to cultivate their creative thinking ability. Encourage them to push the boundaries of what’s possible.’

When people get to weigh in on their development, they more readily buy in to owning their personal growth progress.’

If you will sweat with your people, they can handle the heat.’

When people understand that you’re in it with them, they’re more likely to engage with you.’
