DON’T CANCEL YOUR HAIRCUT

“We've all had situations where we have to cancel activities in our personal lives, like sacrificing a much needed haircut. There are times when these situations can't be avoided. But letting work rule your life is a one-way ticket to being overcommitted and eventual burned out. The most successful teams are made up of professionals who are as passionate about delivering flawless work products as they are about living full and productive lives outside of work.” - Victor Haseman

What I assume about people is what I look for. What I look for

is what I find. What I find influences my response.

Therefore, negative assumptions about others will stimulate

negative leadership of them, negative communication with

them, and negative relationships with them. – John Maxwell

TRUST EACH OTHER

“A team without mutual trust is simply a collection of individuals in the same room. Create a team culture where you have each other’s backs even when you are not in the same room. If you can do so, you’ll be able to take on the biggest challenges.” – Jennifer Burnham
