<\/a><\/p>\nBecause of that, I decided that it would be easier to post some motivational quotes aimed at leadership. What's different about these quotes is they're all mine; yup, that's right, my own quotes.<\/p>\n
I'd never really thought I was all that quotable, but early in 2015 I decided to look back at many of my older posts and it seems that every once in a while I'd say something that I thought was a pretty good quote. I started putting together a collection, and the next thing you know I've got 15 pages to this point. And that's only going up to November 2009! This means I still have 6 years to get through; whew!<\/p>\n
I hope you enjoy both the quotes and the images I'm using before each one of them. I also hope you've had a nice holiday season to this point, no matter your religion.<\/p>\n
1. Most things in life really aren't so important that absolute adherence to a particular process is the only way to get something done.<\/p>\n 2. Real leaders don't back away from responsibility. When things go wrong, don't go into hiding or fear that you're going to get in trouble. <\/p>\n 3. How will you decide to maintain your dignity in the face of tough times?<\/p>\n 4. Employees are not looking for friends or enemies at work; they're looking for satisfaction.<\/p>\n 5. Conversation is a great motivational tool because most employees say they don't know what's expected of them by management.<\/p>\n 6. Being a leader means you care more about the results than the process of getting there.<\/p>\n 7. If you're going to be an effective leader you can't bury your head in the ground. You can't change things if you're afraid to ask questions.<\/p>\n 8. Employers can't continue to expect #loyalty without giving any. <\/p>\n 9. Perception is reality to the person with the perception, so leaders must strive to change negative beliefs and input positive feelings. <\/p>\n 10. I won't be brutally honest with anyone who doesn't deserve that; honesty doesn't have to be mean and nasty.<\/p>\n 11. Employees are responsible for themselves. Leaders are responsible for making sure they have the tools to be successful.<\/p>\n 12. I have found that when I start doing positive things, positive things start coming my way.<\/p>\n 13. A good leader has to know how to work with others and know how to lead others. This seems logical but often it doesn't work this way.<\/p>\n 14. Every day is another chance to start again.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
