Leadership Characteristics - Taking Responsibility
Let’s talk about individual responsibility. There are three types of people – those whom nothing is ever their fault and it is always the fault of someone else (their mother, the government, computers, management etc). Then there are those for whom everything is their responsibility. You can recognise these people by the harried looks on their faces and the need to please and ensure that everyone is happy. Then you have the middle group – those people who know their boundaries, own what is theirs and let the rest go.

Ten More Important “Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Building upon another article I wrote on important lessons learned for leaders, I thought about additional important “lessons learned” for leaders that could be shared. The potential reward and return on efforts related to the strategic action to identify the “lessons learned” from our experiences merits additional thought. I found another great quote to share to confirm the value and importance of the “lessons learned” approach. The following is a quote from John Keats. “Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. Here are 10 more important "lessons learned" for leaders.

Advice from a Former Homeschooler: Considerations Before Homeschooling – Part Three of Four
Homeschooling can be a rewarding experience for both parent and child. But much has to be taken into consideration before you make a decision to do so. A reality check needs to be done as this is very hard work which requires consistency and being persistent. Children learn in different ways so you will have to determine how best to teach. Museums, concerts, music lessons, and many other outlets allow you to expand your school day as you will finish long before a traditional school day lasts. One on one or two or three is an excellent ratio for learning/teaching. Homeschooling may be hard work but it can be the most rewarding "job" you ever undertake. This is a Four Part Series.
