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- Living Your Reality

If you don’t like your reality, don’t talk about it, do something about it. Because you created it. And you are the only one who can change it.

Be curious. Because ‘curiosity leads to adaptive responses. Certainty leads to death sentences- at least this is true for every other life form on this planet.’

Don’t do it alone. ‘When fearful people bond together, all the ingredients for strong community are present: a shared world view, a desire to support one another, a clear lens for interpreting information, and a collective self-image that they’re engaged in important work.’

‘There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.’

‘Nothing living lives alone and when we are in genuine relationships, an abundance of creativity and caring gives us the very capacities we need to solve our toughest problems together.’

‘We need to be in the world but not of it. We need to create places at work and in our communities that protect people from the destructive dynamics of this culture and reawaken their human spirits.’

‘We need leaders who recognize the harm being done to people and planet through the dominant practices that control, ignore, abuse, and oppress the human spirit. We need leaders who put service over self, stand steadfast in crises and failures, and who display unshakable faith that people can be generous, creative, and kind.’

‘Is your work still meaningful?’
