Success Trap

If you've been very successful in your career, the inertia of success may prevent you from recognizing danger.  #personaldevelopment

Leadership

In a Harvard Business Review article titled "Leadership That Gets Results," written by Daniel Goleman, he reported, "Many leaders told us they don't have the time in this high-pressure  economy for the slow and tedious work of teaching people and helping them grow."  Let that statement sink in for a moment.   #leadership

Organizational Effectiveness

When organizations are ineffective, the bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle.  #organizationaleffectiveness 

Personal Growth

Smart is overrated.  Talent is overrated.  Breeding, Ivy League education, wit, eloquence, and good looks - they matter, but they're all overrated.  What really matters is what you do with what you've got.  #personaldevelopment 

Decision-making

People who have no emotional stake in a decision can see what needs to be done sooner.  They can see much more objectively.

Decision Regret

Don't stop, don't slow down, don't revisit past decisions, and don't second guess.  Keep moving forward.  #personaldevelopment

Survey Says...

Among publicly traded companies in the United State, the average CEO makes more than 300 times what average workers get paid.

Planning

The best plan is the one that lets you change your plans.  #personaldevelopment

Expectant Theory

You create what you expect.  You are today where your thoughts have taken you.  You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.  "What you think you become." -Buddha         #personaldevelopment 

Behavior Change

The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change: What is immediately rewarded is repeated.  What is immediately punished is avoided.  #leadership
