High Performance Leadership

It's not the problem that upsets you, it's not getting what you want. Get clarity about what you REALLY want, and then work relentlessly to get it. If it was easy, how much fun would it REALLY be? -- doug smith  

  It's easy to get discouraged. Work, people, even life throws more challenges than we expect or ever ask for. Keep going. Obstacles will slow you down and pull on your momentum until it screeches like the bad brakes on an old Chevy. Keep going. Tasks will blur together in a fog of business that makes that vision ever harder to see and follow. Keep going. Keep going. Your work is important, and it's just beginning. -- doug smith

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word -- excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. -- Pearl S. Buck

  High performance leaders recognize and appreciate the work of their team members. You might think that they are fine, you might think that they are self-motivated, and maybe they are -- but everyone craves recognition. We all want to be appreciated. What gets appreciated gets repeated.  What gets neglected feels disrespected. Let your people know that you care! -- doug smith
