FIVE THINGS EFFECTIVE LEADERS DO
Five practices—employed by successful leaders—that can help you incorporate discipline into your day to step away from your to-do list.
LEADING GOES BEYOND READING 📚

STOP PUTTING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT DEAD LAST ON YOUR TO-DO LIST
If you want to be a better leader, then you have to WANT to help others be more successful.
WHAT IS YOUR OTHERS-FOCUSED PLAN?
Don’t be the type of leader who constantly talks about themselves.

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN WORK-LIFE BALANCE?
I don’t believe in work-life balance. ⚖️
To me, work-life balance is impossible because you’re trying to be all things to all people. This is how burnout happens and you begin to lose control of the things that matter most to you.
DO YOU HAVE AN ALARM CLOCK OR AN OPPORTUNITY CLOCK?
Instead of grudgingly waking up by an alarm clock blaring in your face, change the perspective to what you’re ABLE to accomplish.
A new day allows yourself for endless opportunities. Embrace the fresh start with open arms.
WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU TO TAKE ACTION?
I follow a lot of speakers and authors. But I truly admire the ones that have inspired me to TAKE ACTION:
