whatever you are, be a good one – abe lincoln

 

We must demonstrate mastery of these five unconventional tactics before we graduate from manager to leader:

1. discern the most important point of every critical theory
2. be world class at focus and discipline
3. paint a clear, concise, and compelling picture of the future
4. demonstrate (invisibly) world class habits that deliver world class results
5. be the model for work life balance and wellness

What is the ultimate leadership test ever invented? Parenting. Why? Because everything we’ve learned is our responsibility to teach and develop in our child(ren). Without a child, who does an adult teach this too?

Without the passing on of our deepest convictions, most noble aspirations, and biggest mistakes, a person is likely to leave cards on the table, in the game called life.

If we are not, or never will be a parent, this may be difficult to comprehend. We still love you. Unconditionally.

Leadership’s obligation regarding social media?

Embrace it.
