The people we admire and appreciate speak volumes about us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I was once asked who my country&#8217;s heroes are (I said Terry Fox, Tommy Douglas and Roberta Bondar).

Today, or last week &#8212; who did you appreciate?  What did they do?  What did they stand for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  Next I&#8217;d ask: Are those the qualities and behaviours aligned with the big picture?   Are your heroes taking you where you want to go? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: Perhaps you value safety and your top performers are those who work around the standard procedure, or don\u2019t report near misses, because they are too busy getting things done.  Hmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Or you give the most praise to the people who rescue the company from near-disaster? (ignoring those who quietly prevent disaster from nearing in the first place&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Or say you value innovation and creativity but you most admire that person who chronically shows how a new idea &#8220;just won\u2019t work&#8221;? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Your heroes give you a lot to think about.  Your actions and attitude as a leader go a long way in shaping your company\u2019s culture! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHO ARE YOUR HEROES?
