Who Needs This?

“Who needs this”?, is stereotypically said in a sarcastic tone, and maybe even with our arms thrown up in the air is frustration.  Can you picture it?

But that’s not what I mean here.  Not today ever.

Today, in these tough economic times, these extraordinarily turbulent world times, we need this.

We need leaders.

Not managers.  Well, we need managers, but not as much as we desire leaders.

We need someone with passion to make a difference.

Most humans are hard-wired to do good – to make a difference.  But most are hard-wired, also, to fear.  Fear keeps good people, who want to make a difference, in the shadows, where it’s safe.

We don’t need any more people in the shadows.  it’s too crowded there. We need people to go out in the sun, and lead the others who want to make a difference, but have no one to follow.

Nine Questions to Ask Your Boss

Occasionally, I post what I think is relevant, but not necessarily business content.  For a variety of reasons, I thought this one was timely.

Here’s a Career Builder article I just received from Earthlink.

Nine questions to ask your boss.

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will?  If not today, when?

Bigger than the Beatles?

Will Lee Cockerell be bigger than the Beatles?

Do you know who Lee Cockerell is?   You surely know the Beatles.  If you don’t know Lee, you will.

Lee is a Leadership genius.  Seriously.  Lee was Disney’s Executive Vice President of Operations.  There are few jobs tougher than that one.  Lee led Disney brilliantly.

He retired recently and has published a book that is going to help any leader, in any organization, at any level.  It’s entitled, “Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney“.

By now, you know you can trust me to tell you the real deal.   If I were you, and didn’t have Lee’s book, I would challenge myself to buy it within 24 hours.

It’s your choice and your future.  It always will be.  I’ll bet many of your competitors have already read this book.

PS.  Lee’s blog said “Creating Magic” has been released in France.  I have a copy in Japanese.  It’s going global.

The one thing your competition may not have done yet?  Execute any of Lee’s common sense strategies and tactics. Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂
