Morning Motivator - Happy Birthday Nancy Pelosi!

"Today is her 70th birthday. Can you believe that?"
- Unknown CNN Anchor

The funny thing about LEADERSHIP is that the decision making process is supposed to BENEFIT others. All too often, our "leaders," make decisions that benefit THEMSELVES.

Ask yourself, "Who should be making DECISIONS that will truly take its 'full effect' 15 years from now?"

As LEADERS, it is our RESPONSIBILITY to engage and involved those that are most affected by our decisions. Would change a policy without asking clients THEIR thoughts? Would buy a new car without CONSULTING your spouse?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
While Speaker Pelosi may be "respected" by colleagues, I WONDER how many younger leaders she consulted??

Twenty years from now, Nancy Pelosi will NOT be forced to live with her decisions and actions... YOU WILL!

As you GROW, LEARN and LEAD in your professional career, remember, your ROLE as a leader is to help find a BALANCED solution that meets all needs...

Seek to PREVENT decision making based on EGO, PRIDE or ARROGANCE. Then, maybe on your birthday, I will write a Morning Motivator about what a GREAT leader you are (and how you learned from her).

Cheers,
Zach
