7. Unreasonable expectations and standards (cont.)

  1. The biggest difference between a manager and a leader who knows how to influence others is that a manager gets people to do things by supervising them.
  2. A leader, on the other hand, inspires people to a new standard; even when the leader isn’t there, people still live by these new rules because it’s become their standard, too.
  3. Unreasonable expectations change the world.
  4. When a leader has higher standards and knows how to influence others to adopt these higher standards as well, innovation and lasting change happens.

8. Courage and faith to act

8. Courage and faith to act

  1. Having courage means you’re afraid of a task and you do it anyway, and having faith means you’re able to work toward a challenging goal because you believe it serves a greater good.
  2. Leaders have the ability to tap into both; they also know how to influence people to embrace the same courage and faith.
  3. It’s not that leaders don’t experience fear – they just know how to dance with it instead of letting it ruin their lives.
  4. This inspires others to dance with their own fear and creates a domino effect that sparks lasting change.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
