Executive Focus: Courageous Leadership Requires a Plan of ATTACK

Acknowledge progress. Many leaders are so goal-oriented they can’t see the individual steps of the process. Determine the desired results, determine the benchmarks, and be certain those benchmarks are acknowledged and celebrated when they’re achieved.

Commit to lifelong learning. If you’re not learning, you’re not leading, regardless of your title. Commit yourself to learning on three levels. Learn about yourself first, your people second and your industry third.
