Part 1
Hard work brings prosperity; only a fool idles away his time.
King Solomon
Wise leaders know that time is their most precious asset. When seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years pass over they are lost forever.
Time can never be called back or be used again once it has passed. A lost today cannot be recycled and another will not replace it.
Time is fair. If we were to be the richest man on earth, we would not be able to buy more time than any other person.
Wise leaders use their time with great care and they make time to work on their priorities, including what is most important to them.
We learn gradually to say “NO” to the various demands when we have a sufficiently anchored “YES” within ourselves to guide us to what is of long-term importance.
When it comes to time, we invest it wisely.
About “The Key Leadership Principles”
This weeks Key Leadership Principle is “Lead using your most precious asset”.
I will write one thought for every day during this week and then give you the opportunity to reflect on some important questions on how to Lead using your most precious asset the following week.
This is the format I will use to inspire your learning, releasing your talent and potential. My hope is that you will come along with your thoughts along the way.
I wish you the best in your life and leadership,
