Quotes

Here are a few things Susan has been known to say:

“Having people step up to their leadership and contribute to others is very rewarding.”

One of my favorite quotes is from John C Maxwell,

“Leadership develops daily, not in a day.”

“We need more leaders!”

“Passionate leaders also recognize the need to constantly replenish that which makes them thrive.”

“Passionate leaders see an opening, exploit a break and take a chance when others don’t even recognize the opportunity.”

“Women are succeeding, make a difference in their positions and are doing so below the radar screen. I encourage women to take ownership, ask for more, take risks and be accountable.”
Panel participation, Michigan Women’s Business Conference & Expo, October, 2007

Leadership Tips by Susan E West

Here is a list of 12 Leadership Power Tips, which could be used as a monthly idea to a management team…

December
Passionate Focus! Take one step at a time. Use Passionate Focus – do not try to do too much. This leads to overwhelm and added stress. Passionate Focus is the dedicated effort to the completion of one action item at a time. This can bring tremendous productivity throughout the day and a great feeling of achievement at the end of the day. Passionate Focus!

January

Acknowledge others passionately! Take a moment everyday and acknowledge someone for what they are contributing. I have found that a few kind, genuine and heart-felt words said with a smile can be as rewarding for you as they are uplifting for your employee, peer or boss. Acknowledge others passionately!

February

Celebrate Small Victories! We all can get caught up in the daily tasks, the daily challenges and forget how far we have come. I love taking a few moments each month to see how I am doing, how the team is doing and how the organization is doing. I look to see if we satisfied the customer, reached a milestone in a project or learned something new. I do not need much to Celebrate! A toast to a job well done with the click of two coffee mugs, a bit of chocolate to share, a thank you note to the team… take the time this month to Celebrate the Small Victories!

Susan,
Yes, I have been to your website!! It is where I found out about the Power Tips. I have actually looked into your Top Five Lists, and made a note to make the Five Mistakes Every Leader Makes, and Ten Characteristics of a True Leader into posters to post around the room, with your name on both of them of course. The website has been of much help.

Thanks so much again,
Jen
