Money

Dear Leader,
Make sure that you or your people don't pay too much for money.
It's not worth it.

I'm so glad you care.
Just testing:

What are there names?
Just wondering

When to handle problems

Dear Leader
David Alan says it best:
Handle problems (issues) when they SHOW UP, not when they BLOW UP.
So what has shown up?

Why

Dear Leader,
Make sure people know WHY they do what they do.
One of your biggest duties is to ensure people understand the context.
If you wonder why,
It's a good start.

Swich off to tune in...

Dear Leader
Remember to switch off your technology (cellphone, computer etc) if you really want to "tune in" to your people.
When you are on-line for others, you are off-line for your employees.
So, switch off, tune in. (When it's necessary, which may be more than you think)
It matters.

On appointments

Dear Leader
Try to always appoint someone who is better than you.
It shows how good you really are!

Positions and Leading

Position does not determine whether someone leads...
We all LEAD Lives...
Some people have been leading from difficult positions, yet they inspired...
Nelson Mandela led from a prison cell.
Where are you leading from.
Whereto are you taking your life?
Go ahead, lead on.
