Having the information we need to be an effective leader is rarely the issue. This issue almost exclusively is in our application.

Consider this potential mind binder…

Who’s the best leader you’ve had in your career?

We often make excuses about our lack of peak performance because our leader does or doesn’t do extraordinarily beneficial things.

Epiphany: We should be the best leader we’ve ever had.

And we are in charge of doing extraordinarily beneficial things for our career.

The headwaters of great leadership begins with self motivation and self mastery.

Having to feels like work.

Getting to feels like joy.

The insidious danger is our motive isn’t pure.

But if it is, nothing can stop you.
