The following is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager. “Do you have a business card?” Cayla asked. “Sure,” Steve said. He pulled a card from his briefcase and handed it to her. “I apologize. I should have given one to you yesterday.”. “It’s not for me—it’s for you. It’s a challenge.” Cayla held the standard size business card in both hands, turning it over several times as though to be sure there was nothing abnormal about it.

Former University of Kansas head basketball coach Roy Williams once told U.S. News and World Report magazine that there are three things that coaches as leaders must do to drive success : "Have everyone on the team focus on the same goal." And, the leader must effectively communicate that goal to the team. "Emphasize those goals every day." "Understand that although everyone has a common goal, individuals also have goals, needs and dreams that must be cared for.

We need leaders. When Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few…” I’m confident some of those workers should be leaders of other workers. Throughout the Scriptures God used men and women to lead others to accomplish great things – all to His glory. But, I’m equally convinced, just as there are not enough people working who should be working – some of the workers who should be leading are not leading.

Garry Gay/Getty Images. Few topics have captivated talent management discussions more intensely than potential. The obsession with predicting who may be a future star or the next top leader has influenced academic research and human resources practices alike. But how good are we at evaluating human potential?

Huber & Starke/Getty Images. “Always remember: Your focus determines your reality.” Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn shares this advice with Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars, but in our hyper-distracted work world, it’s advice that we all need to hear.

But this same force has also led to work environments that inundate people with a relentless stream of emails, meetings, and distractions.

katyau/Getty Images.
