I signed up with Google Alerts the first of the week, thanks to Des Walsh at Business and Blogging, where I discovered that this wonderful tool existed. I chose the categories Leadership and Personal Development, and I am really impressed by the quantity and the quality of the information that has arrived in my mailbox.

Leadership Thought for the Week, January 22, 2007

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do.  That is character!
            —- Theodore Roosevelt
Action Plan:  When did it happen that ethics, and doing the right thing, became negotiable?   When did we start admiring businesses and business leaders who didn’t do […]

Leadership Thought for the Week: January 8th

You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.
                                    — Rosalyn Carter
This week’s action plan:  It’s easy to believe in yourself, when everyone around you believes in you as well.  But how often is this the case?

Good Bye 2006

The close of a year is always a time for reflection and goal setting.  It’s like the end of a chapter in a book — the story isn’t over, it’s just time to move on to the next adventure.
