Leadership

Most MBA programs don't offer a single course or even a lecture on how to delegate, yet it is one of the most important skills a leader must develop.   #leadership

Just Start

All big things start small.  The important thing is to start.

Customer Experience

If you want to create positive lasting memories for your customers, then that is what you must do for your employees first.  #customerservice 

Leadership

Great leaders give responsibility but demand accountability in return. Great leaders don't tell their employees how to get the job done; everyone has their own style. But Great leaders are crystal clear in telling employees what they want them to accomplish.   #leadership 

Employee Feedback

Managers should focus less on the frequency of their developmental conversations with employees and more on depth and quality.

Self-imposed Limitations

This is a story about a tiger named Mohini that was in captivity in a zoo.  Mohini had been confined to a 10-by-10-foot cage with a concrete floor for 10-years.  They finally released her into this big pasture, animal sanctuary.  With excitement and anticipation, they released Mohini into her new and expensive environment, but it was too late.  Mohini immediately sought refuge in a corner of the compound, where she lived for the remainder of her life.  She paced and paced in that corner until an area 10-by-10 feet was worn bare of grass.  Perhaps the biggest tragedy in our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our lives trapped in the same old patterns.  #personaldevelopment 

Slow Down & Unplug

60-80% of all doctor visits involve an illness or issue that can he traced at least partly to stress, according to a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.   #personaldevelopment
