2. Some people wait to see what happens. Others make things happen.

 
3. A team either innovates…or uses the innovations of others.

 
4. Accountability can’t be delegated successfully. It is a choice.

 
5. Some leaders express themselves – and some leaders spend their time making judgements of others.

 
6. Realizing and activating the potential in every interaction of every day changes everything. (Are we doing this? Do we know how to do this?)
