Never forget, organizational values start and end with you, the leader. Whether your example is good or bad, expect most employees to follow your lead.
Your dreams are the blueprints of your soul. They should take you by the hand and lead you toward your life's purpose and passion. They are one of, if not the greatest, source of self-motivation that you have. So nurture them and feed them inspiration whenever you can.
A service culture doesn't happen by accident. The company is always a reflection of the person at the helm. Their attitude, their values, and their commitment to service excellence will drive the actions of others in the organization. Always has. . . always will.
I've come to realize that the difference in success or failure is not how you look, how you dress, or how you're educated. It's how you think !
Behind me is infinite power, before me is endless possibility, around me is boundless opportunity.
An individual's yearning to reach outside his life is a seed of greatness waiting for a stream of inspiration. Carving that stream to people's hearts is a simpler task if the endeavor you are leading them into is attached to a bigger story.
People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.
If employees feel you don't trust them to do their jobs correctly and well, they'll be reluctant to do much without your approval. On the other hand, when they feel trusted, that you believe they'll do the right things well, they'll naturally want to do things well and be deserving of your trust.
Great leadership usually starts with a willing heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to make a difference.
One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is the number of people it touches, many times in ways you'll never know.
Laugh loud, and laugh often. It’ll keep you happy, keep you healthy, and keep your attitude headed in a positive direction.
This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind. . . let it be something good.
By the choices we make, by the attitudes we exhibit, we are influencing lives every day in positive or negative ways.
We all seek purpose in life. Most of us wonder how we can make a positive difference during our brief time on earth. But asking and doing are different things.
By the choices we make, by the attitudes we exhibit, we are influencing lives every day in positive or negative ways. . . our family, our peers, our friends, and even strangers we've never met before and will never meet again. So when you brush your teeth every morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself. . . 'Are there things I'd like to change?'
Never underestimate the power of belief when it comes to fulfilling your dreams. I can say with no hesitation that every person I've ever met who has achieved any degree of success has one thing in common: they believed with all their heart they could do it.
What happens when you believe something with all your heart? Belief fuels enthusiasm, and determined enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits.
Find what makes your heart sing and create your own music.
Attitudes truly are contagious, and from time to time we need to ask ourselves, 'Is mine worth catching?'
From the moment we wake up each morning to the time we hit the pillow at night, we hear what people have to say, but are we really listening?
