The power of “we” is incredible. When you move away from me, you come to we.
We can do amazing things. Me, I can too…but I often move faster and smarter with we.
We know more together. Me, I know what I know…I can learn from we.
We share excitement and enthusiasm. Me, I am happy inside and for myself (and that is a good feeling to have and cultivate)…that enthusiasm is multiplied to a higher power with we.
How about you…is it more me or more we?

Taking risks is a bit like gambling. You have to know what you are willing to wager, what you might lose and how much it will make you sweat.
Leaders take risks everyday. They make decisions, they ask challenging questions and they move people.
They move people not by manipulation, although that is possible….but then, are you really a leader?
Leaders look for opportunities to move people with their kind words, their wonderful questions and their positive action. Be a leader who takes risks…look for opportunities to compliment, challenge and support, mentor and inspire.
