Gary Heil is an internationally acclaimed expert in the fields of leadership, management, and organizational culture.

LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
- Leaders tend to talk a better game than they play.
- The way leaders treat their teams is one of the most tangible difference between great and poor leaders: Choose love or choose fear.
- The depth of our relationships goes a long way into the level of determination we get.
- Most leaders (in their actions) don’t care about people as much as they care about profit.
- Ask yourself if your vision is one that people would be willing to pick up and leave behind whatever else they’re doing to commit themselves to your vision.
- You don’t motivate people. You provide opportunities. You can only create an environment where motivated people come and maximize their potential.
- Most great organizational change comes from within the organization, created by a small group of people who don’t know they can’t do something.
QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION
- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Let go a little.
- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” A person who creates a culture where ordinary people can do extraordinary things, incredibly authentic, someone who understands it’s not about them.
- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? If I weren’t here, what’s the first things a new person would do? And if a new person would do it, why won’t I?
- What book would you recommend to leaders? The Professional Manager by Douglas McGregor
- 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.
- As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” Both! Ask “why?” to understand success and failure. “Why not?” in order to do what others think can’t be done.
