Quixtar Diamond Don Wilson – People Appreciation Marks A Leader

Don Wilson: In leading people, I apply this lesson from Sidney Harris. People have a real and valid need to be valued and appreciated and good leaders look for what’s right with others.

“People want to be appreciated, not impressed. They want to be regarded as human beings, not as sounding boards for other people’s egos. They want to be treated as an end in themselves, not as a means toward the gratification of another’s vanity.”

Fred Harteis: Quality Thinking Required By Quality Leaders

Fred Harties, “One of the people John Maxwell credits for mentoring him in the area of realistic thinking is his brother Larry. Experience is not the best teacher; examined experience offers us the opportunity to learn. Laurel and Hardy characters did little thinking. It’s good for a laugh but not for learning.”

“Neither Laurel nor Hardy had any bad thoughts. Matter of fact, they had no thoughts at all.” – Larry Maxwell

Billy Florence: Pay Now To Play Later

Billy Florence & Peggy Florence, “In business I recommend personal discipline. This discipline can be called the “pay now to play later.” The price of success is non negotiable.

I’ve heard it explained this way, when you do the things that you aught to do when you aught to do them, you will eventually have the option of doing what you want to do when you want to do them.

Jerry Harteis and Polly Harteis - Leaders Face Facts

I love what Jerry Harteis says about not faking thyself out. This is an important leadership principle to learn. - Billy Florence

Jerry Harteis,” A major leadership commandment is ‘Thou shalt not fake thyself out.’ And don’t allow those you lead to make the wrong things a priority. That’s why Max Dupree is often quoted for these two smart reminders.

Two Harteis Favorites from Max Dupree

1. The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.
2. We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

Billy Florence - Life Lessons On Determination

Billy Florence - Bobby Jones A Golfing Great

Bobby Jones was a great example to many. He made a huge impact on the game of golf. We can learn a lot of important lessons on life from him but one important quality of Bobby Jones was determination. He went through a tough period where he had plenty of critics but he didn't let that stop him...

by Billy Florence

At age 14, Bobby Jones was considered the greatest golfing prospect in the world. At age 21, he was considered the greatest disappointment in the history of the sport. At age 28, he was considered the greatest that had ever played the game. These fourteen years were dubbed by Atlanta newspaper man O. B. Keeler “Seven lean years and seven fat years,” and defined in startling relief the power of determination in fulfilling a person’s potential.

Jones was his own worst enemy during his teen years. He was plagued by a driving perfectionism that would accept nothing short of infallible excellence in his play – a tall order for a young man battling the pressures of an adoring and expectant public in addition to the normal anxieties of adolescence. A particularly bad outing could throw him into a tailspin of self-criticism that would damage his game for weeks at a time. In addition, he possessed an inordinately bad temper and was given to embarrassing tantrums on and off the links. Grantland Rice said of Jones that he had “the face of an angel and the temper of a timber wolf.”

But a single day, a single hole, a single shot seemed to turn it all around for Jones. On the 18th hole of the final round of the 1923 US Open, Jones hit a near-perfect shot out of the rough which landed eight feet from the hole and ensured his first ever major golf championship. Over the next seven years, he won 13 of the 21 major championships he entered, culminating his career by winning all four major championships in a single season (1930) – to this day the only golfer ever to accomplish the feat. Jones retired from golf at 28, but his influence on the game was only beginning. He invented the modern system of identifying clubs by numbers instead of names, and helped to design the Augusta National golf course, home of the Masters Tournament.

Jones’s was a promising life that seemed headed for disappointment and despair. Instead, he identified and overcame the obstacles before him, and unleashed his potential as few have done before him or since. His story is an enduring testimony to the power of human determination.

“Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half inch course – the space between your ears.” -- Bobby Jones

WWDB Ron Puryear - Creative Thinking Can Raise The Bar

Ron Puryear, “Many of our limits are self imposed. We can’t because we think we can’t. Are you facing an obstacle or challenge that seems enormous? Take it apart and apply creative thinking. Get your thought process started, you might even say what would be the most complicated and time consuming way to solve this. That alone may jump-start your creative process. I read this leadership thought from John Maxwell who explains it like this…”

Fall retail spending is experiencing a welcome warming trend. Back-to-school spending is estimated to reach $17.6 billion, up nearly $4.2 billion from fall 2005, with $2.6 billion in sales going toward online shopping. The biggest gains will be enjoyed by fall apparel, electronics, and computer related purchases.

Colombo and Karen Disalvatore: First Things First

We all hear to focus on the important things in life. But we have to be willing to figure out the things we "won't" do in order to focus on the real important things. Whenever we make a decesion or set a new goal, we must decide what things we are going to give up in order to reach that goal. - Billy Florence

Colombo DiSalvatore, “Setting priorities wisely is a mark of a developing leader. This means setting priorities so majority of our time is spent on the percent of activities that deliver the greatest results toward our goal.”
