Focus on your vision AND your current reality

Jesse Lyn Stoner Blog

Some people focus only on current realities and what’s needed to solve today’s problems. They are primarily concerned about their next steps, looking down at where to place their feet.

7 Ways to Maintain Respect as a Leader

Ron Edmondson

People follow people they trust. They trust people they respect. As a leader, one of your most valuable and needed assets is the respect of the people you are trying to lead. If a leader is respected, people will follow him or her almost anywhere. If a leader loses respect it becomes very difficult to regain respect.

Harvard Business Review
