YOU CAN'T SUCCEED WITHOUT A GOAL.
-----------------------------------------------

The indispensable first step
to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.

You must first establish your objectives
if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

Determine what you want.
Decide on your major objectives, targets, aims, and destination.
If you don't know where you're going,
how can you expect to get there?

Goals are dreams that are written down.
Plant your dreams, nourish and begin to live them.
The most important thing about a goal is having one.

Corporate Culture

by: Richard S. Lewine

Your corporate culture is not born in a test tube. While you may not have spent much time thinking about it, your organization has one.

Organizational cultures begin as soon as there are two people working together and they establish a method for communicating the day-to-day and long term needs of their enterprise. Most often, this culture is driven by the personality of the founder/president and bought into by other members of the organization as they come aboard. This intangible element of an organization is the cause of more firings and resignations than performance, theft, and other stated causes combined

As entrepreneurs/managers/leaders, we unwittingly perpetuate this culture on a consistent basis. Entering a high energy shop, one will find people scurrying around constantly “busy” at some task. There is a high probability that the leader of this group is a high energy individual. Conversely, the laid back company is most likely led by a calm, highly tolerant individual who doesn’t easily get his or her feathers ruffled.

Creating a Winning Environment
by Dr. John C. Maxwell

The environment has taken center stage recently in the American media. Going "green" has become trendy among everyone from Hollywood elites to suburbanites. Corporate America is experiencing pressure from environmentally savvy consumers who are flocking en masse to socially responsible companies.

Perhaps "environment" should be the word at the center of leadership conversations as well. Consciously or unconsciously, leaders cultivate the environment in their workplaces. Some are lush climates where leaders flourish and thrive, while others are toxic environments where leaders either leave or wither from the pollution. Here are five questions about the environment you're creating as a leader that will help you nurture a winning environment in your organization.

1. "Do I understand what it takes to be a team?"
Without effective teamwork, an environment is doomed to fail. A collection of individual contributions will never compare to the synergy of a cohesive team. A successful team displays:

Tolerance of one another's weaknesses.
Encouragement of each other's efforts.
Acknowledgement that every person has something to offer.
Mindfulness of how each person depends on the others for success.
