leadership pain loss
The experience of pain or loss can be a formidably motivating force.
leadership years trying
Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.
leadership giving people
People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.
leadership humility
Have the humility to learn from those around you.
motivational successful people
Successful people reject rejection.
leadership opportunity thinking
People who are not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines--limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while coloring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities. They try to take things in a new direction, or beyond the limit. Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.
leadership people close-friends
All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.
leadership dream knowing
The leader continually passes on the vision to those who come around, knowing that dreams, if presented right, are contagious.
leadership achievement
Without failure there is no achievement.
leadership power-of-one
Leadership is the power of one harnessing the power of many.
leadership two family-and-friends
Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.
attitude worst-enemy your-best-friend
Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability
leadership growing-up team
Values hold the team together, provide stability for the team to grow upon, measure the team's performance, give direction and guidance and attract like-minded people.
basketball attitude giving-up
When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought - that surprised me because I wasn't the best player. And I kept thinking, "Why am I going to be the captain?" I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, "The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up."
