On Dec 12, 2013

Thought Tweet #889 When you are beating your head against an unbudging brick wall, don't make your next decision another bad one.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Common sense sends strong suggestions to direct our thoughts. We just need to allow them to sink in and register.

Thought Tweet #888

Thought Tweet #888 Dysfunctional behaviour is an example of leadership. (It's the type of leadership you don't want.)

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Don't be fooled.

Everything people do has leadership potential.

Even the most dysfunctional behaviour can induce followers...to follow, to mirror...to expand dysfunction.

So, nip dysfunction in the bud.

Thought Tweet #887 Discipline is the antidote for wasted Talent.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When discipline is absent Talent is dormant, submerged, and wasted.

That's why discipline is a good thing.

Discipline serves a key role when success is in action.

Thought Tweet #886 About Leaders: Why they're the folks who manage themselves and inspire others to do the same.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people continue to be confused about the difference between managers and leaders

People do what managers instruct [when they feel a need to do what managers instruct]; People follow leaders [often, without feeling a need to justify why].

Thought Tweet #885

On Dec 6, 2013

Thought Tweet #885 The biggest problem in business today is Communication. Unfortunately, many people don't want to change that.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

At least, they don't want to change it enough to take simple steps to overcome their resistance to improving self-analysis, improving observation of others, and improving judgement...and then improving communication.

Thought Tweet #884 There's a reason the words confidence and competence have a similar ring to them.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We see these two walking hand in hand.

We watch them promote one another.

When they are separated we observe signs of distress.
