Now that I've made the decision to write more consistently in my blog, sharing leadership lessons from an upside thinking perspective, it's amazing the feeling of accomplishment that has come from that decision.

And, that is one of the things that great leaders do well. They think BIG. They take risks. They make decisions. A leader knows that he/she may not always make the right choice, but they know that it is their responsibility to take the helm and choose a direction. When I am hired by the leadership of an organization to help them effect change, I provide tools and training but not the values and vision.

As Teddy Roosevelt said, "In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." And, the greatest sense of accomplishment comes from choosing a path and getting the tools you need to succeed on your journey.
