You provide opportunities. You can only create an environment where motivated people come and maximize their potential.\n- Most great organizational change comes from within the organization, created by a small group of people who don\u2019t know they can\u2019t do something.\n\nQUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION\n\n- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Let go a little.\n- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: \u201cA leader is\u2026\u201d A person who creates a culture where ordinary people can do extraordinary things, incredibly authentic, someone who understands it\u2019s not about them.\n- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? If I weren\u2019t here, what\u2019s the first things a new person would do? And if a new person would do it, why won\u2019t I?\n- What book would you recommend to leaders? The Professional Manager by Douglas McGregor\n- If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? To better understand the difference between what the espouse and the way they act.\n- As a general life principle, is it better to ask \u201cwhy?\u201d or \u201cwhy not?\u201d Both! Ask \u201cwhy?\u201d to understand success and failure. \u201cWhy not?\u201d in order to do what others think can\u2019t be done.\n\nWebsite:\nhttps://www.garyheil.com/\n\nFind Gary on social media:\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/garyheil (@garyheil)\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-heil-b46b98/ (in/garyheil)
