I often look at successful tweeter Steve Keating’s words of wisdom and found a whole stream of inspirational tweets at the end of June 2011. I thought a few of his quotes would be a good start for the financial year 2011-12.
Here they are:
“Excellence is an attitude.”
“No title or position in the world makes you right 100% of the time.”
“Success requires action. Where there is no action, there will be no success.”
“Some people see problems with every solution but successful people see solutions for every problem.”
“Authentic leaders apply the rules equally to everyone.”
“When you lose your credibility you lose your opportunity to lead along with it.”
“Long-term success requires continuous continuous improvement.”
“Life your life in such a way as to make certain ‘what if’ will never apply to you.”
“We don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.” (unknown)
“Your greatest power is your power to give.”
” Nothing will improve a person’s hearing more than sincere praise.”
“Authentic leaders are proud but not arrogant.”
“Always treat yourself with the utmost respect – if you don’t, why should anyone else.”
“If you’re not willing to fight for your core values then they probably aren’t really core values after all.”
“It takes much more than winning every time to be a true success.”
“Authentic leaders give as much or even more than they get.”
“Do something. It may be wrong, but I’d rather be wrong doing something than be wrong doing nothing.”
“Good leaders follow the rules. Great leaders change them.”
“It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you are not.” Denis Waitley
“Much of our success will be determined by what we STOP doing in the next 12 months.”
“Successful people learn from their own mistakes, the most successful people learn from the mistakes of others.”
“A leader who develops others, adds; a leader who develops leaders, multiplies.”
“You’re making history today & it’s your own so be sure to make it a history you’ll be proud of.”
With business crying out for better managers and leaders perhaps these quotes from Steve will inspire you to become one of those sought after individuals.
Steve Keating tweets at @LeadToday and this blog post was not done without his prior knowledge and is not a pre-arranged plug for him. I jut like the stuff he tweets and thought you may find some value in this small list of his recent musings on leadership and success.
I also tweet and my Twitter handles are: rictownsend with selected tweets on career success at orglearn and on resumes at resume_form.
