So much of our lives is about the choices we make. This is especially true as leaders. Our individual choices effect us personally and they effect those we influence through leadership. There is a new business book coming out by David Cottrell entitled, "Monday Morning Choices: 12 Powerful Ways to Go from Everyday to Extraordinary." In this book Cottrell offers 12 principles for successful living, grouped into three types of choices:
Personal Choices
These are the choices people make that mold their character, including accepting responsibility, commitment, values and integrity.
Action Choices
These are the kind that lead to success, and include being focused by sticking to your objectives, maintaining enthusiasm about work and life, and being willing to deal with difficult issues head on instead of avoiding them.
Investment Choices
These have nothing to do with the economy or how you are investing in the stock market. Instead these are choices that we make by investing in relationships, accepting constructive criticism, seeking the truth, and giving back to others.
Our choices truly do make a difference in our lives. I hope that as a leader you can use wisdom with your personal choices, your action choices, and your investment choices.
