#Empowerment

Empowerment in its most simple form is sharing decision-making authority with others.

Urgent vs. Important

Urgent and important are not the same.  Set your priorities.  Think big picture.  Then trust the people beneath you to do the jobs they were hired to do.

#Leadership

Great leaders are far more skilled in the art of questioning than the art of answering.

#Leadership

The degree to which leaders are seen as credible is the degree to which potential followers will allow themselves to be influenced.

#Leadership

Good leaders don't ask, "What do I do?"  Instead, they say, "This is what I am going to do."

Purpose vs Ego

Better to be driven by a strong sense of purpose than by ego.

#Leadership Action

You get paid for being right first, and to be first, you can't wait for consensus.

Watching Leaders

Much of leaders influence proves to be intangible and symbolic; their actions set the tone, communicate norms, shape values, and provide meaning.

Culture Driver

How your leaders behave drives the kind of culture you end up with.

#Leadership Default Setting

As a leader, your default setting should be aggressive-proactive rather than passive-reactive.  Instead of letting the situation dictate your decisions, you must dictate the situation.
