Don’t be afraid of extra target/mile, though this will involve more work, more hours of extra effort, but this will also give you accomplishment in the long run. Its important to focus all your energies on your next target, rather than pondering over your previous failed attempt. But its also important not to be bogged down from such setbacks and find strength within and move on.

Success doesn’t identify race, colour, orientation, identity or ethnicity but it identifies real hard work and how much are you willing to work hard to achieve your desired goals.Ĥ.

Every member in your team should be motivated to give their best to achieve the Target. This also reinforces the fact that small things in life matters, and if we can do the little things right, we surely can do the big things right as well.Ģ. By the end of the day you will end up with many tasks completed. This will give you a small sense of pride which will encourage you to accomplish other tasks in the day similarly. Make your Bed – Start your day by accomplishing one simple task at the beginning of the day. Some of the Key Leadership Lessons and takeaways from the book are as follows:ġ.
