Here are 9 ways to reflect on and measure the progress you are making in your life over the last 90 days.

There are four parts of leadership development.

It's tempting to slow down over the Summer months. It's also a bad move. Use the time to catch up or surge ahead.

Lousy leaders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the ones I detest the most are those who treat people as if they were disposable. You know the type; usually barrel-chested man-babies, who surround themselves with toys in an effort to inflate their social status.

I keep a baker's dozen of empty Wellbutrin bottles in my closet and look at them once in awhile, to remind myself of the 13 months of hellish depression I went through several years ago.

13 months is a blink of the eye that takes place over an eternity. The daily battles were real, unwanted, and not simply thought away with happy platitudes. Depression is conquerable, although your pride will not serve you. You need others.

Encouragement and appreciation or not difficult things for good leaders to express. Lousy leaders however, can't do either unless they see a way it benefits themselves. Don't be that way.

I have a visceral reaction to leadership that has never let me down. It operates on both extremes of the continuum. There will always be lousy leaders, but great leaders can reduce their destructive destructive influence every day.

If you are pursuing YOUR wants and desires, that is sufficient reason. As an adult, you no longer have to allow yourself to be bullied into justifying your why.

Regularly add and delete people from your personal board of advisors, otherwise you'll stop growing.

Effective leadership isn't a one and done exercise. It is an ongoing process, and could be argued, a lifestyle. Don't use it as a bluff to sell your stuff.
