Make wise choices
Power Point ń If for any reason you are not happy with your current situation, you can make new choices and decisions about exactly what you want and then go to work to make that a reality.
-Brain Tracy
Power Thought – One of the greatest assets we have is the power of our choices. That comes with careful planning and preparation and using them wisely. Choices have consequences and only become reality when we take action on them. Choices ń use them wisely.

Improve the lives of others
Power Point ń Take time to make a difference. Don’t just obsess about how you can make your life better. Think about how you can make somebody’ else’s life better as well.
Joel Osteen
Power Thought ń Isn’t that the purpose of good leadership? Using our talents and abilities, and the fruits of our labor to help make someone else’s life better is the passion of leadership. Think of ways today to improve the life of someone else.

A wise leader listens
Power Point ń Knowing I need to listen and knowing how to listen is not enough. Unless I want to listen, unless I have the desire, it won’t be a habit in my life.
Stephen R. Covey
Power Thought ń How many times have we heard someone talking but weren’t really paying attention? A successful leader is one who is intimately interested in others and genuinely wants to hear what others say. Developing an interest in others begins by listening- really listening.

Power Surge ń A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.

Improve your relationships
Power Point ń Freds are always looking for ways, big and small, to improve the quality of their work and interactions.
Mark Sanborn, The Fred Factor
Power Thought ń Who doesn’t want to improve the quality of their work and relationships? It begins by doing the little things each day that improve your skills as a leader; a word of encouragement, a handshake, listening to the ideas of others. These are simple things that when done over time, will endear you to your team. Start today!
