Leading Thoughts for October 17, 2024

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

I.

Alden Mills on attitude:

“Your attitude is one of the single most important things you can control, and if you are not careful, you will let others influence and sometimes even control your attitude for you. The reason attitude is so critical to your success is that it directly influences how you communicate, collaborate, and contribute. People experience you through your attitude. Your attitude drives your actions and how people act toward you.”

II.

Sam Chand on taking responsibility:

“So, what keeps people from getting to a higher level of leadership? The answer is their inability to accept higher levels of responsibility. Leadership has privileges, but those privileges come with a weighty obligation. A leader’s responsibilities include being a good role model, training others, keeping a good attitude, saying, ‘I will go first,’ volunteering for things outside your purview, being on time, rising with courageous, faith-filled affirmation, holding up your primary leader’s arms, and giving your best. Every day that you show up as a leader you bring a higher level of responsibility. And guess what happens? Whatever you sow, you’ll reap.”
