The someday leaders
Do you have that family member who always has a new job and it’s the new job that they’re finally going to rock? Yet, they have a million reasons why none of their previous jobs worked out.
Do you know that person who’s been talking for years about starting a business? But, this, that and the other thing always gets in the way.
If motivation is the matchstick, effective action is the spark.
Stephen Covey, the author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said, “Effective leadership is putting first things first.”
