Welcome

Inspired Leadership is a blog to provide a collection of my thoughts on leadership. I have helped numerous executives including general managers, department heads and supervisors over the years with various HR and operational matters and I find myself being driven to help those in and outside of the companies I have worked for.

I often find parallels in the things we do in life so you will find a collection of things that drive me forward in my personal and business life towards continual success. I also found great success utilizing concepts found in the Secret, the 8th Habit from Effectiveness to Greatness and Eat that Frog so you will see that a large part of what you will read will have a good deal of its base from those concepts.

Something I Learned Today

I was talking with a pretty accomplished guy at the gym today and I asked him how he was doing as I normally do and today he said I am great! I said now that is different I usually hear that you are good what is going on that is great. He paused and said " I think that good has been used so much and and has become so common that it has become a term for being ordinary. We say how are you or how are things going or hows the family. And we all respond I'm good, its good or they are good without really thinking about it. he went on to say we tell our kids be good today or where you good today and to do a good job. He then said if you are asked if you want to be good or great which would you chose? So now I am always thinking of that because I want to be great.

I have read a similar concept to this a few years ago and I heard someone use this in a speech just a few weeks ago however it is always good to get a refresher.

So how is your day today so far? What do you want the rest of your day to be like? Yes that is what I thought.

Make it a great day!
