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?
Leadership
Best versions
Leadership is about getting people to be their best versions. One of the ways to bring about the best is to ask the question -‘Is this the best that we could do at this point in time?’ When I’m the best version of myself, am likely to get the people around also to be their
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.
