High Performance Leadership

Have you ever been so focused on a goal that you missed an opportunity? The trouble is, by the time I realize that's happening, the opportunity is gone. Forever. It does take focused effort to achieve our goals, but not so much that we lose track of reality. Not so much that we miss what's going on around us. That goal IS important, but only until it isn't.  Move forward, but keep processing. Keep learning. Keep feeling. Keep ready for the next surprise. -- doug smith  

You don't have to trick yourself or hyper-motivate yourself to achieve your goals -- just pick goals that you really care about. It's not a great goal until you can't stop thinking about it. -- doug smith  

An unintentional ethical lapse, uncorrected, leads to intentional ethical lapses. -- doug smith

Leaders must first understand ethical behavior, then operate ethically, in order to promote ethical behavior. People will believe what they see and feel.  -- doug smith
