Leadership Motivation

by Douglas Brent Smith

• True leadership wisdom makes room for change. Knowledge is dynamic

• Your courage is up to you. That's what makes it courage.
  

• Courageous leaders face up to their weaknesses and ask for help.
  

• Compassion is free until you withhold it; then the price is immeasurably high.
  

• A complaint is a call to action. Take it.
  

• Centered leaders add value instead of dividing it.

• The air is thin at the mountain peak but that's where the best view is. Just don't go it alone.

• Mountains never stop growing, why should we?

• Are your goals centered on your purpose? How can you focus more clearly?

• Leadership flexibility requires carefully practiced listening skills.

• The truth will always bubble to the top. How will you as a leader look when it does?

• Staying centered under stress is a leader's most useful skill. 

• A centered leader elicits the truth no matter how controversial.

• Authentic creativity generates ideas, not smoke and mirrors.

• Everyone can develop creativity -- and should.

• Sharing compassion helps the receiver and the giver.

• Brilliance depends on context. Are you open to the unexpected?

• Centered leaders handle anger without harming others.

• Creativity expands possibilities. Clarity defines your boundaries. Must have both.

• If we can't agree on the truth, lets agree on the possibility.

• Running away from conflict means you get to face it again later.

• Centered leaders know when to facilitate harmony or discord.

• Balancing challenge and support is an art. Be creative.
