My parents, Fred and Joyce, are Dale Carnegie fans. In 1981, while I was still at the University of Sioux Falls, I received a leadership development gift from them - How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Evidently, they knew that as I finished university and launched into the next stage of life I would benefit from reading this book. :-)  Well, that’s an understatement! I could hardly put the book down. I underlined and made notes as I devoured each page. Since reading the book for the first time – about 30 years ago – I've also been a Dale Carnegie fan. Have you read it yet? Is it in your library? If yes, it may be time to dust it off and reread - it's filled with much-needed strategies for these disruptive times. If not, I invite you to consider reading it this season.

"Our strong character-based leadership matters NOW, more than ever.” The world is changing at a staggering pace. Economically, technologically, digitally, and culturally we’re sprinting to keep up. In the midst of the madness, I find focus and direction in my favorite question, “What might I do to make a positive impact?” My Strategy for Leading Successfully is…
  • Step Up – I regularly review and realign my passion and purpose.
  • Step In – I embrace an action-oriented, ownership approach.
  • Step Out – I constantly look for opportunities to make a positive impact on everyone in my sphere of influence.
