You've gotta be willing to take risks and make mistakes -- experience is not the best teacher, evaluated experience is the best teacher. The leadership of Santa Clause: Give your gifts and ask for nothing in return Build a wonderful workshop, have a vision and make it your main thing Choose your reindeer wisely, they make a vision a reality Make a list and check it twice Find out who is naughty and who is nice and ‘catch’ them doing something right! Focus on the plan and work it day in and day out Santa always has a plan and gets it done on time every time! Listens to his elves, and walks in their shoes Sees where they are and speaks to them and beings them to where he wants them to be Ho Ho Ho -- have fun but push hard and finish strong in 4th quarter Give the gifts that last a lifetime -- knowledge and skills First you make the choice, then the choice makes you Change brings about greatness! You cannot solve a problem at the same level it was created Share the milk and cookies Order a cute or catchy item like a pen and make it a goal to give out 10 a day -- each accompanied by a compliment Be good for goodness sake, model the behavior you expect from others -- you have to exemplify it more than others to be a true leader Anything you do that's worthwhile will scare you at first AND it will help you discover your big why What made you great, will make you greater -- stay consistent and it will pay off Dont ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and GO DO IT!
