More Jobs-Steve and Small Business
Many thousands of words have been written about Steve Jobs as a visionary and titan during the past week. They are well deserved. Today however, I’m looking in on his life as an inspiring story for the small business owners of today and tomorrow.
A Leader is Born Every Minute...?
Are leaders born or developed? Leadership is not for the lazy. It comes from having a want and a deep desire to excel and bring others along with them.
Howard Schultz Starbucks
Howard Schultz, Starbucks visionary, once said, “I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It’s seeing what other people don’t and pursuing that vision.”

Lesson #3: Hire Good People and Take Good Care of Them
It was not only Penney’s focus on the customer that drove his success. With the same amount of energy and dedication he gave to each and every visitor that entered one of his stores, so too did Penney give to his employees.

Instead, Penney understood that it would be the people behind his company that would help push it to the top.

It had an educational subtext, the concept was solid, and sure enough, we had a solid hit on our hands.

Why Leaders Get Followed - Pointers from 297 people who chose to follow them.
Does every manager lead, inspire and motivate their team to new heights? Of course not, but some are remembered for years...even decades by members of their team. People have told me they have fond, warm memories when I ask them to tell me about the best leader they ever worked for. So instead of writing an article about the dynamics of leadership, I though it may be more useful to view leadership from the eyes of those that follow.
