Reigning in Your Thoughtlife
Good attitudes infuse a can-do, optimistic belief in people. The contrary is also true: poor attitudes sow discouragement, division, and fear. Negative attitudes won’t produce a positive culture. This begins with us! It begins with the thoughts we choose to think and meditate on. Be protective of your mind because your subsequent attitude will absolutely pervade the organization, for better or for worse.

One element of being effective is understanding the difference between managing others and leading them. Management is about handling things—numbers, facts, budgets, details, accounts, schedules, etc. Successful managers are people who can manage/control/handle responsibilities. Leadership, on the other hand, comes from the root “to go.” The word “leader” denotes moving forward and progress. Managing is about handling, but not necessarily about motion.
