Hi There,
I'm skiing in South America but have also been doing a lot of thinking. I wanted to thank you for all your
kind support of my work. So I have summarized the 73 best ideas/insights/lessons I've learned for
winning in business and life below. I hope they help you. And I hope you'll share them with others who will
benefit from them. Again, thanks for supporting my mission to help people in organizations around the
world Lead Without a Title. I'm grateful.

4. The antidote to stagnation is innovation.

on doing the great work that will generate applause. And make you money.

your self-image.

14. The best leaders lift people up versus tear people down.

well.

32. Accept your teammates for what they are and inspire them to become all they can be.
