One of the biggest challenges in life is allowing yourself to be excellent. There are many opportunities to shine and be great all the time. It is, however, hard to let yourself be great. People like to be one in the crowd. As you begin to be great, you also begin to stand out which can be uncomfortable at times.
Leaders have to be great. Do not be afraid to be excellent. As you are excellent you allow other to be excellent also.

One major problem I have seen with the fire happy leaders is that they don’t properly train their employees. These leaders can’t keep the right people because they don’t give them the proper training from the very beginning and then they expect them to know more than they should.

In many of the large corporations that exist, there is a specific set of training sessions that every employee must go through when they are hired. As a part of the training session, HR or some other department reviews all the policies and procedures of the organization.

It is essential that we look to those who have gone before us and review both their successes and failures. We must also take time to review what we have done in our own lives and the outcomes. [Read more…] about Keeping Perspective As Leaders

One challenge that many people face in becoming great is their own self-doubt. How can you overcome your own doubts and thoughts of discouragement?

This video has been around for a while, but Paul Potts is a great example of overcoming self-doubt and taking a chance. As most of us, he had challenges with self confidence. By realizing his strengths, he was able to overcome his doubt. He took a chance by auditioning for Britian’s Got Talent and now he is very successful and is able to do what he is best at.
