The untold difference between a great leader and a good leader…

Teaching versus telling.

There are a million ways to teach or tell.

Great leaders teach.

And because they teach, their workload should be more about inspiration than perspiration.

It’s the difference between leading and managing.

The difference is commitment versus compliance.

Leadership includes everything at HQ

Homeowners must make choices to keep up with the things that become issues

 

As a homeowner (leader, CEO), we are responsible for everything at our HQ.

Even the things that catch us off guard and clamor for our precious time and attention.

Two weekends ago we filled in 60 holes in our yard, dug by wild animals searching for food.

This digging, and the dangerous holes, will continue indefinitely unless the animals are caught and relocated to a nature preserve.

This is time consuming and distracting.

And necessary.

Figure it out. Right?

Every business using slogans and tag lines,

We know this.

Yet rarely do it.

Why?

Live like you mean it.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Is art the sculpture, the child’s bear’s travels, both, or neither? Invest in art.

 

Wealth is how long we can live after we stop working.

It is not a specific dollar amount.

It’s a balance of expenses and cash flow.

Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repairing.  – Billy Rose

When they match we are golden.

A deficiency in income means we have to keep working to make up the deficit.
