As a leader, you must decide to believe. If you don’t believe in the mission and the team’s ability to get there, why should your people?

Operational freedom is earned from management, and work gets done with our peers. The org chart doesn’t define where work stops, but rather, where it begins. 

How many hours do you personally spend coaching your team? Giving feedback or demonstrating what excellence is. If you’re like me, it’s not enough.

If I asked you what success looks like for you personally, what would you say? Far too often, we aren’t clear on our mission and as a result, our role to play in its achievement is unclear. 

A reactive mindset makes us victims of circumstance. Instead, we can choose to manifest our own reality through creativity, optimism and determination through humble action.

In difficulty, all we can control is our reaction. Improving our odds of success in the future requires us looking at the one thing we most often ignore - our own faults.
