Message of the Week !
Want to move forward?
Let’s make it a conversation ! Stop the pity party and blaming the upper management for your problems and start taking responsibility for everything you do.

Every time you place a blame you are focusing on the past but when you accept responsibility, you are focusing on this time forward.
Rules Drive accountability and decision-‐making at the right level.
Foster a culture where everybody walks the talk and nobody walks in water.
Encourage effec<ve communica<on, not over-‐ communica<on.

impact
meaningful , leaders must connect with a diverse array of stakeholders to build community around a shared
vision. The new rules of engagement demand that we leverage our influence across mul>ple spheres, forge unconven>onal partnerships and turn ideas into ac>on.
