I’m attending Leadercast today. Below are some key learnings – quotes and paraphrases – I’ll update this throughout the day.

• Did your parents teach you core values of respect, hard work & selflessness? Remember – they are not just values for kids but for all of us!

• In some ways we are all “on-stage” all of the time. We will be most noticed when we are tired, angry, jealous or stressed. How we behave at those times will play a significant part in how others define us.

• If you grow your business beyond the point where you have the right people in key positions it will fail.

• Leaders preserve and remain true to core values while stimulating progress.

• Attention to detail has no value unless you take time to zoom out and see the big picture.

• A to-do list is important. A “stop-doing” list is way more important.

• Stop assigning titles, start assigning responsibilities and authority.

• Remember that it’s called “leadership” not “controllership”.

• Resell people on their own value

• Struggle and failure are early signs of success – for those that let setbacks shape them positively.

• Be a shaper of stories, not just an opener of doors

• Don’t focus just on problems and “issues”. Look for the bright spots – what’s working; can we do more of it.
