A Key Message
“Part of Leadership must be our moral belief
that as individuals we must behave ethically,
be accountable for our actions, and be
conscious of our decisions and discern the
impact those decisions have on the
environments we serve each day.”Marv Russell

Finding The Leadership Impact Zone
The place where our gifts and talents merge and allow us to create an impact on the world
around us.
Understanding the Impact Zone
“As an imperative, leaders must dominate the line of
scrimmage. They control the pace and style of management,
and they are paid to overcome the largest obstacles and make
a definitive impact on the performance of the organization.
Leaders, like linebackers, are expected to make a significant,
coordinated impact on the field of battle known as the business
operations. They are expected to establish their presence in
the organization and to orchestrate business success.
Colleagues and subordinates alike know who these leaders are
and they know their potential to change the outcome in the
most crucial times.”
