17 Rules to Live By

 

IMG_8218

Hi Everybody.  Happy Monday!  Now that I have been writing Monday Motivation content for over 4 months, I thought it might be a good time to stop and take a look back.  I was interested to see if I could re-organize the 17 posts to see how complete a leadership manifesto they could make when combined.  I think together they provide an interesting, if incomplete, framework.  Inspired by the quote from Joshua Cooper Ramo, I worked to phrase them all without the word “don’t.”  I hope you enjoy!  Have a great week!

  1. Start today, continue tomorrow
  2. Be kind without a reason
  3. Do things the right way even when no one is watching
