Leadership is … ATTITUDE
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. ~ W. Clement Stone
Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
~ Lou Holtz
It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude. ~ Zig Ziglar
The following quote does not fit with the attitude topic – but is a great leadership quote. I received this quote from a very good friend of mine last week and wanted to share it with all of you.
“Give your workers more sophisticated jobs along with better tools, and you’ll discover your employees will become more responsible and bring more intelligence to their work. ~ Bill Gates
