So can you
Lately I have been spending a lot of time coaching high performing leaders both here in Canada and in the United States. That got me thinking. These are people with integrity and intelligence. People with a passion. They care. They believe. People with the talent to execute. They get stuff done. People who bring the energy to lead through good times and bad. They make the tough calls.
Bookstores, the internet, and a never ending line of speakers are all talking about what makes a high performer. High performing leaders see the world and their place in it. They know that when you accomplish something great (and they do) that it won't last. You have to work to make and keep yourself successful. High performing leaders control their attitude and outlook on life. They make their time count. They find the best solution to a problem they face, execute it, and move on. They set limits. They surround themselves with people who inspire them, people who are positive, people who want to be better. High performing leaders set goals that are challenging driven by personal values. They understand that fear is a choice. They choose not. They accept the past and live in the present.
Everyone has a choice. The moment you learn to accept your choices, everything gets better. High performing leaders understand this. They learn, make sense, and take control. So can you.
