Ever considered it that way? This is cool management insight!
I love quotes! I have since I was young. I would collect them, make collages of them, and put them on hand made cards for my friends. Whether it’s a success saying or a success quotation – it’s a bite-size form of coaching. It’s powerful information and inspiration in a bite.
Here’s a Management Success Tip: Include quotes in your team culture.
Why? Consider what quotes do…
1. Inspire = motivate
2. Direct
3. Instruct
4. Feed our spirit
5. Stimulate our thinking
…just to name a few and I’m sure you can think of more.
How powerful is it to have just a few words carry so much weight and do so much good! And you know the funny thing?…a new social media phenomena creates a context for that to regularly occur – Twitter.
I am going to be sharing my favorite quotes there, so if you’re not following me…do so! I promise I will not bother you with my personal, inane activities. What I will do is pass on quotes and information that are worth your time and support you in developing the quality life you desire to have. Twitter Web Site
To start, here are a few of my favorites and how they impact me:

Humphrey Bogart once said: “Enjoy the moments, kid, because in the end they add up to a life.”
Coaching point: Live in the moment. Don’t waste your time dwelling on the past or too much anticipating the future. Make the most of now…each now adds up to a life.

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot…and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s precisely why I succeed.” Michael Jordan, American Basketball Player
Coaching point: go after it, plan on loosing a lot to be a winner.
