LEAD Moment Focusing on Personal Leadership
Systems That Don't Work
"Time management: is really a misnomer-the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves. Let's commit to ourselves to stay in Quadrant 2 at least 60+% of the time. Management of people has its place however, don't sacrifice effectiveness with people to achieve efficiency and check off to-do's on a list. Principle-centered leaders think in terms of effectiveness and intentionally loving those they serve well.
