HAPPY NEW YEAR
Ken Blanchard in his book
THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER,
he says, "There's a difference between interest and commitment.
When you are interested in doing something, you do it only
when it is convenient. When you are committed to something,
you accept no excuses." Commitment is the one quality
above all others that enables a potential leader to become
a successful leader.
Stephen Covey, one of the most prolific leadership authors
of our time, says there are six things you can do right now
to make 2009 your best year ever:
1. Be proactive.
It's more than just taking initiative. It means being responsible
for your own life. Empower yourself to lead and spread your
influence no matter what position you hold.
2. Sharpen the saw.
Decide what's truly important. Sharpen your saw early in the
day by learning to say no to the unimportant and yes to the
highly important.
3. Seek to understand before seeking to be understood. It's
human nature to want to be understood, but when both parties
are trying to be understood, neither party is listening. By
making the investment to understand the other party, you can
magically transform the course of your conversations.

4. Begin with the end in mind. Start today
with an image of the end of your life as the frame of reference
by which everything else is examined. With a clear idea
of where you are going, examine everything in the context
of what matters to you most.
5. Develop a vision mission statement. Get
a deep sense of your life's mission, purpose and value system,
and then establish your goals and a system of accountability
that keeps you on track.
6. Think win-win. There is enough success
for everyone, so don't view another person's success as
success achieved at your expense or exclusion.
To Your Blessings and Success
