See #18 from me, just published today in Inc magazine

by Doug Gray | Dec 22, 2019 | book review, Leadership, organizational leadership, published articles

22 simple habits that separate high achievers from everyone else…

The Inc magazine article is here.

The text from me is:

Practice leadership.  Just as attorneys practice law, leaders need to practice leadership.  Great leaders influence others toward a better future.  Leadership requires public optimism.  Narcissism.  Confidence.  Practice, and more practice.  Every day I identify the top 8-10 people I need to influence.  They may be clients, colleagues, prospects, friends, loved ones.  Then I write their names on my list and practice leadership.  Some require a phone call, others need a direct meeting.  All on my daily target list need to know that they are important to me and my business.  When I practice leadership daily, then I stay focused on my objective of being a leading provider of outcome-based leadership development solutions.  You can practice leadership daily.

Doug Gray, PhD, author of Objectives and Key Results (OKR) Leadership, CEO of Action Learning Associates, has worked with over 10,000 leaders in multiple sectors since 1997.

For a print or digital copy of Objectives + Key Results (OKR) Leadership; How to Apply Silicon Valley’s Secret Sauce to Your Career, Team or Organization, click here.  This book is a great read during the holidays, as you prepare for a New Year, a New You or New Decade in 2020.

Here’s to YOU, at YOUR BEST.  Doug
