▹ - John Quincy Adams

Possibility Thinking
38
▹ There’s no such thing as a challenge too big to handle.
▹ Adopt this attitude and your people will follow
▹ Approach every problem will present an opening for
greater achievement
▹ Ask your team, “what CAN we do?”
▹ Watch out for the “nervous nellies.” They can undermine
the confidence and progress of the group.
▹ Evidenced by comments like, “We can’t do it,” “It won’t work,” or “It
will take too long.”
“You need to create a culture of “What will it Take?”, “What if it
were possible?”, and “What could we do?” Create an environment where there is always a way!”
39
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible!”
- Audrey Hepburn
40
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there. “
- Theodore Roosevelt

“Smart leaders know what they
don’t know.”
▹ Learning is a constant process
▹ Never stop looking for
opportunities for professional
development
▹ Pass it on – Team the team
▹ Know when to ask for help
“ Leadership and learning are
indispensable to each other. ”
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
43
Be Humble - Express Vulnerabilities
44
▹ Be open to recognizing your own faults, so you can grow
as both a leader and a human being
▹ Express your insecurities and vulnerabilities.
You are not expressing a weakness if you share your concerns with
everyone. You are being human in front of your team, and this builds
a strong following.
45
Listen to Your People
46
▹ Ask your team for ideas
▹ Your people are your greatest
resource
▹ Listen to their feedback
▹ Communicate why – if you decide
something other than what they
recommend
▹ They are contributing, not decision
makers
You never know where your next great idea will come from, so empower everyone up and down the corporate ladder to contribute and
innovate.
