“The more I help others succeed, the more I succeed.”

Great leaders know …

 

·                    Human capital is the most important capital.

·                    EVERYONE is their customer.

·                    They reap what they sow.  There are NO neutral actions.

·                    Great relationships = Great customer experiences.

 

Great leaders are conscious of their actions in every single moment, in every single way.

 

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours.  May trust and love abound!

 

 

Questions for Reflection

 

Are your followers focused on your customers or their resume?

 

Are you life giving or energy draining?

 

 

The choice is ALWAYS yours … choose wisely.

 

 

Feel free to share this with a colleague or friend.  Your comments and thoughts are always appreciated … I am always learning.  Until next time, choose wisely.
