The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
For a manager to be perceived as a positive manager, they need a four to one positive to negative contact ratio.
In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
Growing, for leaders, is like oxygen to a deep sea diver. Without learning and growing, leaders die in terms of their effectiveness.
One of the topics I'm most passionate about is servant leadership - the greatest leaders recognize that they're here to serve, not to be served.
Leadership is not about you; it's about investing in the growth of others.
I absolutely believe in the power of tithing and giving back. My own experience about all the blessings I've had in my life is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works, and that is the way energy works.
