Seeing
The question is not what you look at, but what you see – H D Thoreau. A leader sees different things. A leader sees things differently. What am I seeing?

Being present
Wherever you are, make sure you’re there - Dan Sullivan. Being present, in whole, every moment. In every role. Am I watching, trying and being present (enough)? What happens when I am fully present in a moment? Good news is that I can enhance my presence. In every role.

You simplify by getting focused on what matters most; by getting clarity on what is truly important – Joe Calloway. When we simplify, things get done. When we simplify, we are effective, more productive,
Clarity in goals
Vague goals produce vague results – Jack Canfield. Clarity in goals is energising – for oneself and for the teams around. Clarity in goals produces the results we want. Are my goals clear to me? Are team goals clear to the teams?

‘If it works, don’t fix it. Once you know what works, do more of what works. If it doesn’t work, don’t do it again, do something different’ – Anonymous. Are we watching enough of what we do, what happens, what works?
