Primal Leadership Great leaders ignite our passion and inspire the best in us. Great leadership works through the emotions If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm an organisation thrives, if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders At every opportunity leaders need to demonstrate what the vision looks, what it feels like, and how people can live it today as well as in the future. They also use themselves as instruments of discovery and change, get close to the process, and don’t let go until they reach their goal. Goleman, Boyatzis, McKee

Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave the world a better place than you found it. Wilfred Peterson

The first is the most important and often the hardest to make It is better to be curious about the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of thing’, rather than the ‘why’ People perform best when they work to their strengths but they often don’t know what these strengths are The Solution Focused Leaders knows that…

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.  – President John Quincy Adams Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. – Mother Teresa “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” —Michael Jordan “True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.” -- Sheri L. Dew, author
