When you’re a manager, you work for your company. When you’re a leader, your company works for you.

Let’s get right on top of the bottom line: You must live your personal values at work.

The purpose of leadership is to change the world around you in the name of your values, so you can live those values more fully.

Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone.

To integrate one’s experiences around a coherent and enduring sense of self lies at the core of creating a user’s guide to life.

Our state of wellness determines our response to any situation. Never allow the busyness of life to distract you from taking care of your well being.

Emotional commitment is a personal choice. Managers understand this even if their companies don’t.

You can stuff yourself with emotional fulfillment until it’s dribbling down your chin & your ego will quickly chomp it down and demand more.

Management controls performance in people because it impacts skills; it’s a matter of monitoring, analyzing and directing.

Work/life balance is not about escaping work. It’s about living exactly the way you want to when you’re at work.

A manager’s emotional commitment is the ultimate trigger for their discretionary effort, worth more than financial, intellectual & physical commitment combined.

Companies should be the best possible place to practice fulfillment, to live out values and to realize deep connectivity and purpose.

The code-of-ethics playlist:o Treat your colleagues, family, and friends with respect, dignity, fairness, and courtesy.o Pride yourself in the diversity of your experience and know that you have a lot to offer.o Commit to creating...

This is your one and only precious life. Somebody’s going to decide how it’s going to be lived and that person had better be you.

The economy is in ruins! Bottom line? Good management will defeat a bad economy.

Leadership creates performance in people because it impacts willingness; it’s a matter of modeling, inspiring, and reinforcing.

What first separates a leader from a normal human being? A leader knows who they are as a human being.

What companies want most from their managers is what they most stop their managers from giving. What managers want most from their jobs is what they most stop themselves from getting.

The minute you stop caring about your business, is the same minute your business stops caring about you.

…while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stands the test of time…is people.

The company may have captured their minds, their bodies and their pockets, but that doesn’t mean it’s captured their hearts.

Being relevant to your customers only when you’re trying to sell something means choosing to be irrelevant to them for the rest of the time.

Any expert will tell you that if you want emotionally committed relationships then people must be allowed to be true to who they are.

True leaders live their values everywhere, not just in the workplace.
