Live 2 Lead 2017 Notes

Executive Summary

Live to Lead

November 9^th, 2017

Notes taken by Paul Lundy

On Thursday, November 9th (a little late posting, I know) I had the privilege to attend the 2017 Live to Lead event.  The event was actually held much earlier nationally but due to several factors our local group hosted their event on November 9th.  Below is a summary of the notes I took from the event.  Should be a very quick and easy read but the speakers were excellent and I hope each one below could share something that will help you in your leadership journey.

“If you aren’t changing, you aren’t growing.”

‘If you are still happy with what you were doing 5 years ago you have real problems.”

                1.) If you never improve and re-enter you may appear tenacious, but likely you are just stupid.

I don’t care how good you are right now, you can get better.

5.)    Ask questions to help you know more more and more before

6.)    Intentionally grow everyday

7.)    Invest time with people and places that will inspire you.

Average people want you to stay average.

Dave Ramsey

Serve others well and you will make money

Managers Count Stuff

An organization with no entreprenuers is “government.”

Organizations are never limited by their opportunities, they are limited by their leadership.

You are the problem in your organization but you are also the solution in your organization

All the attributes of leadership are attainable.

The quirky brilliance of an organizations founder can only take the organization so far.

When you are a leader you must have power, but rarely use it.

Bosses push, leaders pull

To be a true leader you must be a servant.

Cheryl Bachelder
