8 - “Self-awareness is critical. . . even in the executive suite. Be aware of what others (1) think of you and (2) say about you. Don’t criticize, judge or gossip about your peers, as your team will do the same. Be a role model and mentor for others . . . you will then truly lead by example.”
Kathleen Sack , Director Learning Programs - Tyco International (US) Inc.

9 Drop your need to be right all the time. Your whole purpose is to help others be right” Court Chilton, Principal -Court Chilton & Associates

Deborah Slobodnik, Principal -Options Consulting, Inc.

11 - “Breakthrough performance is rooted in remarkable people. To attract, retain and leverage remarkable people YOU must weave the connection between their passions, their work, and one another.”
