FIND a WAY to WIN at something EVERY DAY

It doesn’t have to be big. Some of the best days are made up of one or more small victories. Those incremental wins add up to meaningful change over time.
Leaders find success when they create teams composed of people who are experts in their areas and often smarter than the leader who's hiring them. Great leaders give them room to grow and innovate. These are the leaders who people want to work for.

Tatiana Lyons

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.

Mae West

Life is a mountain. Your goal is to find your path, not to reach the top.

Maxime Lagacé

Surrounding yourself with people who are actively and enthusiastically working toward their best futures will keep you moving toward your own goals.

Leah Busque

Effective leaders understand they are responsible for everyone they are leading and consider that responsibility as their main concern. If you ever lose empathy for and dedication to the people you are leading, you are not being a leader.

Michael Talve

You make a difference. Before you lead, you have to believe that you can have a positive impact on others. When you believe you can make a difference, you position yourself to hear the call to lead.

Barry Z. Posner and James M. Kouzes

Your coworkers will relate to you and respect you more when you don’t hold your personality back. Don't let your buttoned-up facade override your vulnerability.

The art of leadership is saying no, not to say yes. It's very easy to say yes.

Tony Blair

It is not sacrifice if you love what you’re doing.

Mia Hamm

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

Wilma Rudolph

Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.

Steve Jobs

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Maya Angelou

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Napoleon Hill

Real leadership and growth emerge from our willingness to ask for help and give it. None of us gets very far alone.

Laysha Ward

You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.

A boss has the title, a leader has the people.
