LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS

• Successful people do what other unsuccessful people are not willing to do.
• Don’t wait for opportunities in life. Make them.
• When you get an opportunity, don’t take it. Master it.
• A lot of leaders forget to share their mental image of the final product. Effective leaders need to share the end result.

QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION

• What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Copy genius. See what people are doing and do it better.
• Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Someone who shares, someone who cares, and someone who pairs up with others.
• What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? What kind of value am I adding?
• What book would you recommend to leaders? Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Learn so you can earn and then return.
• As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” Both. “Why not?” is more important to conquer. “Why?”
