Nine Beliefs of Remarkably Successful People

1. Time doesn't fill me. I fill time.
2. The people around me are the people I chose.
3. I have never paid my dues.
4. Experience is irrelevant. Accomplishments are everything.
5. Failure is something I accomplish; it doesn't just happen to me.
6. Volunteers always win.
7. As long as I'm paid well, it's all good.
8. People who pay me always have the right to tell me what to do.
9. The extra mile is a vast, unpopulated wasteland.

Leadership-in-IT: If you want your team to be creative and to move fast, you want engagement. And to get engagement, you need to have everyone involved. Even if you know the answer, ask questions. Ask questions like, "What's possible?" "What's the opportunity here?" "What's the challenge?" "What's stopping us from doing that?" "What would you do differently if you had to do that again?" They are not yes/no questions. Yes/no questions are too easy and they are not open-ended questions. These are powerful questions that help focus the attention and help the people that you are leading to engage their brain more and become engaged in the conversation.
