"Assembling a winning team is every manager’s dream. But what do we know about what it takes to get there?
Good Morning Folks,
One of the things I love about the web is how through sharing and sending and receiving articles, one can cut to the chase and consume a lot of information in a short time.
In between blog posts I am sharing heavy from some of my own influencers who include iconic CEOs of world famous brands, on on my private Twitter and LinkedIn networks and I urge you to connect with me, follow me by clicking the links at the bottom of this article.
Meanwhile here are some of my favorite discoveries the last two weeks that many of you might have missed owing to summer vacations and of course, the pace at which we are all working.

Every leader wishes they could be both liked and respected at the same time. However, there are times when we must choose one over the other
Older workers faced an uphill battle finding work after the Great Recession, but the tide may be turning as employers are now looking to add older and more skilled workers to their payrolls.
There's a lot here but it's a quick scan and if you only read one article that can change your outlook and inform a better performance and sense of being- I've done myself proud.
Remember, we can change the course of our life by having the right attitude. By being willing to do what most other people are not willing to do you were able to set yourself apart. This gets you noticed and opens up all kinds of other opportunities.
At work, in life as well, our attitudes define the results. Fortunately attitudes are not written in stone - we can adjust them, fine tune them to perfection. Cheers!
Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.
