One great question can change the perspective of the entire team.

Performance Perspective

Average performers believe their errors were caused by factors outside their control.  High performers by contrast, believe they are responsible for their errors.

#Focus

Studies indicate that our mind wanders 47% of the time.  We're essentially spending half of our time and attention on what's not in front of us, lost in the past or calculating the future.  That's a lot of time and attention to waste.

Survey Says

In a study 51,836 leaders by Jack  Zenger and Joseph Folkman, only 27 of them were rated in the bottom quartile in terms of likability and in the top quartile in terms of overall leadership effectiveness.  In other words, the chances that a manager who is strongly disliked will be considered a good leader are only about 1 in 2,ooo.

#EmployeeEngagement

Studies show that when managers take the time to thank their employees, those employees are more engaged and productive.  Simple right? So why do employee engagement scores continue to be so low?

Overcoming Fear

Action is the most potent antidote to fear.  The only way to rise above it is to go right through the heart of it.

Lost Potential

By discounting the price of our inaction and indecision, we sell ourselves out and settle for a life far smaller than the one we are capable of living.  All the while dreams retreat, passion wanes, doors close, talent sleeps, and life passes.
