LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
- Nearly everything in your life has come from a decision you have made
- People largely underestimate their own resourcefulness
- Life is what you make it. Do you even know what you want?
- As you grow, be aware that your passions and work may need to expand as well
- Invite people to join you in a common mission
QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION
- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Do what's right, not what's easy
- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” 1. Willing to serve 2. Sees a need and meets it 3. Believes in what they're doing.
- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? "Am I worth following?"
- What book would you recommend to leaders? Essentialism by Greg McKeown and Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown
- If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Don't be wishy-washy in your decisions. Make a decision and stand behind it.
- As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” Both of them! We have to be asking it means you're not just taking everything at face value. Ask all the questions!
Final word: Make sure you are being authentic and are standing behind your actions and beliefs, even when you're standing alone.
