Once again, Jobs leads the way! There is great wisdom in these quotes. I will be reading them again and again to inspire me.

Great quotes from Steve Jobs...particularly like, "You’ve got to find what you love… Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

I agree Ivon, so many important nuggets in this article. I particularly like: If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs once said. “Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them."

Ready for Change?
Trish Sadar's insight:
As successful leaders we have learned to base decisions, and use the tools that have served us well in our past. That could mean that the skills, behaviors, and tools we have used have resulted in individual, team, and organizational success.
The huge learning comes from continuously adding something new to our leadership toolbox.
If we are really serious about developing ourselves... we need to do more then just leverage our strengths and minimize our current areas of opportunities.
The organizational landscape is constantly changing, and we must learn to help our teams adapt faster and consistently learn new tools and techniques to thrive today and into the future.

Want to grow your business? Reclaim your child-like sense of wonder, that endless curiosity about the world around you.
Trish Sadar's insight:
I could not agrtee more with this article!!!
Being curious instead of placing judgment is such an amazing vantage point to have. When someone says something that you think is wrong...postpone judgment, and be curious instead. Ask them, "Joe, I have never heard such a unique idea -- tell me I'm curious what was considered that led the team to....."
When you are curious, everyone becomes a guru!
Also, when you start thinking like you were a 5 year old...everything is possible!

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of America left a memorable mark not only on America’s political scene but also across the globe as an history of America and a political genius. Abraham Lincoln’s leadership has intrigued many of us.
Trish Sadar's insight:
These three quotes are some of my favorites:- ive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.- Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.- We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

Trish Sadar's insight:
Wow, what a great reminder to us all as leaders.
Our words, actions, behaviors, gestures, and responses all leave imprints on our staff, and everyone around us.
Great comment from this article: "Leaders must be aware that their actions, their words, their impact, their leadership leaves an impression, an imprint. Either positive or negative. An imprint just the same."
What kind of impressions are you leaving to your team?

Abraham Lincoln brings us enduring wisdom in a nutshell.Abraham Lincoln is very much in the news these days, with examinations of his character, his actions, and his leadership style.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Don't just read this posting, please print and refer to it often. These are all excellent reminders to all of us to be the best we can be as individuals and as leaders.
Leading is not managing. It is a privilege that is earned each day.
One thought for the day: Serving others is the mark of a true leader. Pretend that your contract as a leader lasts only one year, and your staff make the decision to re-sign you as their leader or not.
Would you be fired or re-hired?

Arianna Huffington is often described as authentic, intelligent, and humble female leader. Several weeks ago I’ve had a chance to hear Arianna speak to a large audience at HubSpot’s INBOUND conference, as well as a pleasure of talking to her afterwards, and I can tell you that this description of Arianna couldn’t be more accurate. We discussed success, work and life balance, and wise leadership. Below are some of the leadership and life lessons she talked about that stood out for me.

We need to become wiser about what/who we let rule our lives and take charge of our own success. But before we do, we need to make sure we have our own very clear definition of what “success” truly is. What’s your definition?

Are you strong?
Trish Sadar's insight:
As a leader ask: Am I pushing myself out of my confort zone so that individually and collaboratively we are constantly learning, growing, and raising the bar?
For my team: Have we only set safe and easily achievable goals?
For my company: What is impossible for us to do; however, if we did would be a game changer for us our customers, and our industry?

Trish Sadar's insight:
I absolutely love this article!
This is such an important questions that for years now we have been incorporating this question into many of our leadership programs.
If you are a leader, ask yourself this question. When you are finished then ask yourself how do I know that i am x, y, z, etc.
You see through our own lenses it may seem as though we are exhibiting certain traits and are providing the support, tools, development, and direction our teams need. In reality the only way to know how we are doing is to ask those who we are serving.
Try it, and please share with us if you had any aha moments!

Developing your skills as a leader should be an ongoing pursuit; accordingly, today's Monday Must-Reads focus on leadership.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Please take a moment to read the to do list!
The list captured a couple of my favorite tips:
- Do your best to avoid using the word "No" when appropriate:
If a leader can eliminate it from his or her vocabulary, they’ve taken a major step towards success. (Yep, sometimes it’s that simple)
My take: It doesn't mean that you say yes all of the time. What it does mean that instead of responding with, "I'm sorry we can't do that because....but what we can do is ...
Why not elimate what you can't do and go directly to the alternatives and solutions of what you can do.
- Also, Good to Great Leaders are humble and practice Humility -
Avoid using the word...I did or instead use the word “We”,
Giving credit to others for success, and blaming yourself for failures. Of all of what I call the “higher level” attitudes of great leaders, this (along with positivity) is also worthy of “little thing” status, because it can be such a subtle thing (like just the use of the right pronouns, for example).

Some of the most exciting and rewarding sessions I delivered this year were the ones I facilitated with sixth graders at a local school.
During the sessions, follow-up conversations, meetings and graduation, I was intrigued by many of the comments made by the students as they shared their views on leadership. I made it a point to capture some of their most meaningful observations.
Here are a few priceless comments from these wise leaders:
~Leadership is doing something special or hard
~Seeing the best in others instead of being mean
~Keep in mind a person’s strengths even when they make me mad
~If I am wrong, I learn something
~Social responsibility is being loyal to your friends
~Leadership is getting things done and having fun
~Doing my best work and being OK when I am not at my best
