​LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DETAILS AND DEVILS 

“Not every distraction is intentional, some are incidental. For those which are intentional, the devil is in the details. The more details you endure, the more the distraction is determined to hide. Big usurpations demand bigger misdirection. As a leader, integrity demands transparency and as such sorely frowns on such deception. If you find your team, your children, your superiors splattering your mind and energy with incessant distractions, details and deceptions reconsider your relationships and pepper it with some hard truth.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS CHERISH THE STORIES OF OLD BECAUSE THEY ARE OFTEN THE ROAD MAP TO FUTURE SUCCESS

”There is no question, your lived experiences contain a wealth of wisdom which education alone cannot provide. The same is true of the people you lead as well as the people who you follow. Taking time to hear and learn from those stories may mean the difference between enduring a personal tragedy and averting it. Theses stories could also mean a more direct path to success and happiness which skips the detours of the tragic learning curves of life. Listen to the stories of others. Tell your story to others.” J Loren Norris

LEADING HAS LIMITS AND THE RULES MUST APPLY FAIRLY TO EVERYONE. KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME

“The rules which apply to the game must apply equally, fairly and consistently to everyone playing the same game. It is unacceptable when leaders bend the rules, cheat the rules or change the rules to favor only themselves. In some cases other participants will study the rules just to use your ignorance of the rules to defeat you. Good leaders know the rules, play within the rules and maximize the fair application of the rules to win!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE ENERGIZED BY ACTION AND RESULTS, BOTH START WITH YES!

“Your negative energy is not a speed bump, detour or road block to your success - it is a cliff over an enormous canyon where dreams go to die. I cannot say it strongly enough NO ENERGY has killed more dreams before they get out of bed than failure ever will. Leaders must be possessors, lenders and givers of positive YES! energy to drive their team to greater heights. Attitude always trumps skill, training, education and experience when it comes to taking action. No action. No results. Both begin with YES!” J Loren Norris

GOOD LEADERS ARE CYCLE BREAKERS NOT REPEATING THE ABUSES THEY HAVE ENDURED

​“If you have ever been a victim of corrupt, unscrupulous, unethical leadership you know the pain and frustration it breeds. A good leader learns to counter the effects, break the cycle and transform their own leadership. A good leader recognizes gifts and talents in those they lead and matches them with coming opportunities rather than seeing every opportunity as their own and every team member as a competitor.” J Loren Norris

EVERY LEADER HAS EXPERIENCED A TEST OF AUTHORITY FROM ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER ANARCHY OR TYRANNY

“Authorities can be established, elected, dictated or presumed. In any case they will face the resistance or rebellion of those under their authority and the potential of disrespect leading to disruption or even chaos and anarchy. What seems like mild questioning of the right to rule will easily become a mutiny if not addressed. Leaders must know how to maintain a relationship of respectful influence.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF "GETTIN' MONEY" AND WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT

“Just like winning, money isn’t everything but to some it’s the only thing. If money is what drives you, what keeps you going in the right, legal, moral and positive direction? Do you know anyone personality who sold out their values, beliefs, self worth, integrity or even dignity for the sake of money alone? While you’re getting gold, they first getting the Golden Rule right first!” J Loren Norris

GREAT LEADERS MOTIVATE, INSPIRE AND CORRECT THEIR TEAM

“Engaging leaders gain and keep the attention of those they intent to influence by understanding the nature and drivers of those they lead. Great leaders motivate by connecting, inspire by modeling and correct by graceful redirection. Take time to get to know people through observation to become a better leader.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW NONSENSE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A WASTE OF T T T & A. SPOT THE NONSENSE.

“There will always be nonsensical arguments in the realm of leadership. There will always be people who have nothing better to do than argue, create drama, distract and disrupt. The real challenge for the leader is to determine or distinguish genuine issues which require redress and time wasting, nonsensical silliness. Taking action on these disruptions is critical. Deciding what action to take is even more so.” J Loren Norris

GOOD JOB! WELL DONE! WE ALL WANT TO HEAR AFFIRMATION... UNLESS ITS HOLLOW AND SELF SERVING

“What good is a compliment which is hollow, vain or self serving? Not much! If you feel like the best thing you can do for your team is to make sure they feel good about working for you, you are mislead. It is significantly more beneficial for a leader to be honest with the gritty ability to both admonish and admire in measured balance.” J Loren Norris
