Preparation – how often have you skipped this because you didn’t plan enough time? Too often leaders think they already know everything and don’t need to prepare. Recently I heard a world-famous motivational speaker say he spends hours preparing for a speech, even one he’s given many times before. Why? Because the more you prepare, the better your delivery and the outcome. As leaders, we need to prepare for everything, not just act. With preparation, many times we are reacting to circumstances rather than moving forward with planned actions. What are you preparing for today?
