Why I am feeling inspired...

My philosophy has always been - surround myself with more talented people than myself, motivate them and let them fly!

This way you see people grow, you lead a winning team, and people believe you are a great leader!!I

It has also been a huge motivator to me, the more talented people you lead then the more you must invest in your own development, to keep pace with their thinking. The test is whether you can stay one step ahead, it becomes a challenge...something to motivate you especially if you have been in the same job for a while.

This week it has brought home to me, how important it is to speak to talented people. I have been lucky enough to speak to David Maister, Valeria Maltoni and Marshall Goldsmith. Wow...now in these 3 wonderful people are an abundance of talented brain cells. Just getting the chance to speak to such talent motivates me, it expands my mind, it helps me develop my thinking, it helps me bring further value to those around me. One thing that all these people had in common, was despite their success they were human, they wanted to help, they wanted to share their knowledge and time, they made me "feel valued". A fantastic example of no matter how successful you are, always have time for people.....and keep learning.

The good news for you is that I recorded all the conversations and they will be coming out over the next 10 days...so make sure you are subscribed to the free feed to The Engaging Brand
