Leading from any Chair: The position that you hold in any organization will lack true meaning unless you are able to allow others to voice their opinions and concerns. Some leaders think that they are the only person who has a vision, idea or solution to a problem. Those who work for them are to be quiet and do as told. This lesion is about how to listen to those who are involved in caring out the vision of the organization. They see things differently, they have experienced life differently, and they have ideas. How much greatness are we willing to grant? The leader has more power when they listen and take ideas from any source that make the organization a better place and more productive in the long run.

Rule number 6
How serious do you make things out to be? Is it worth getting yourself so worked up about an issue that you no longer are able to see any solutions? This is my favorite rule. Life is always going to be a bumpy ride. So take each bump that comes along and figure out how you are going to get over it. Plan, practice, look ahead, and take time for yourself and smile. Relax, it will all work out, maybe not how you originally thought. It's life, enjoy and learn.
