@Sheriff_Baxter @FisherNews Where did you find that box? I'd buy one.

[Don Riling @DonRiling]

@Sheriff_Baxter @FisherNews You're a good man Todd Baxter. And we appreciate your service to our community. Thank you.

Being a hard worker doesn't make you a good person.

Character is defined by your ethics, not just by your work ethic.

No matter how much drive and dedication you bring to the task, people won't fully trust you until you've shown generosity and integrity in the relationship.

@Ringalls86 @espn @IMGAFootball Fantastic Ryan!

This takes skill, and it's worth learning to maintain friendships, which are more valuable than short-term opinions.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Politeness is staying silent when you disagree.

Civility is having the courage to speak your mind and the courtesy to invite your opponents to do the same.

Or it could always be the employees fault all the time. 😆

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

If you're constantly firing people, it's a sign that you're:

(a) Bad at hiring
(b) Bad at matching people to jobs
(c) Bad at managing people
(d) Bad at tolerating dissent
(e) Some or all of the above

There are no positive explanations for constant churn.

@rich_angell REALLY enjoying it! Thanks for the recommendation!!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In psychologically unsafe teams, people are afraid to ask for help.

In supportive teams, people are comfortable seeking help and get quick responses.

In generous teams, people proactively offer to help before anyone asks.

Grit–which closely correlates with the self-management domain of emotional intelligence–enables us to persevere as we pursue challenging goals.

To overcome my many blind spots, I am always asking, "What am I missing?" and "can you help me?" I have given the people around me permission to speak truth into my life. It is the only way I can be protected from my blind spots.

[Maxwell Leadership @Maxwell_Leaders]

As a servant leader, when you improve yourself in areas that are important to the people you lead, not only do you get better, but you make the person you serve better.

[Don Riling @DonRiling]

This aligns with Jim Collins' @level5leaders work- professional determination and humility are the secret sauce!

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

The trait companies are suddenly searching for most in leaders?

Humility.

Teams led by humble leaders outperform teams led by egocentric ones.

Good mentors help you follow their path. Great mentors help you navigate your own path.

Good mentors offer their advice. Great mentors help you expand your core group of advisors.

[Don Riling @DonRiling]

Good words from Adam Grant- we need more great leaders.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Selfish leaders serve only themselves.

Tribal leaders serve only their loyal followers.

Noble leaders serve their detractors as well as their supporters.

Physicians are viewed as leaders within our society. Many are not aware of this! I was presenting once to a group of oncologists at a major medical center and was asked this question, "Are we leaders?" I was shocked at this. You are! Please show others the way in society too.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"Live in the moment" is good advice for a day but bad advice for a life.

Carpe diem isn't about focusing only on today. It's about seizing today to take charge of tomorrow.

Happiness is enjoying the present. Motivation is looking forward to the future.
