Focus: Decide what’s really important, define the key factors for success and your key business values - put fist things first.
Anticipate and respond to the future, live your vision, give power away, create an environment for personal growth, champion positive change, integrate results and relationships. Develop a passion to do the right things and then do them.
Leaders
I was going to produce leaders who could produce other leaders.
Momentum - leaders model the leadership they desire.
Focus on the potential - find the one thing that you believe is the potential leader’s greatest asset and focus on that. Give 100 percent of encouragement to that area.
