Managing is doing; leading is being!

Insight #2
It’s the insecure leader who uses the command and control style of
leadership to be heard, while the confident leader lets her example be felt.

Insight #3
“Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a

- Walt Disney on Leadership

Insight #4
Do the easy things first, and life gets harder. Do the hard things first, and
life gets easier. Embrace solving the hard problems, for that’s where the big leverage lies.

Insight #5
Admired leaders make communication their highest priority, for when they tell
a story, it never feels like a speech.

Insight #6
The ultimate measure of a leader is the team she builds. As David Oglivy said, “‘If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we
shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are,
we shall become a company of giants.”

Insight #7
Don’t waste a day asking ‘what if.’ Instead, ask ‘why not’ and invest in projects where
the ROI is life affirming and purposeful.

Insight #8
Taking control of your time starts with a commitment to empty your head. Transfer
anything that goes into your brain onto your planner.
