Tweets from Leadercast 2014 #LCWE14


There were so many great things happening all day Friday - Leadercast was awesome.

Here are the tweets that rolled to and from our hashtag #LCWE14


  • With high expectations based on a plan with the people, you can make the underdog come from behind to become #1
  • The practice of leadership is the daily little things where we put others before ourselves
  • A leader sacrifices the numbers for the people
  • You change a heart to change a mind.
  • People don't follow authority but legitimacy which = Respect, fairness, Trustworthiness
  • Treat people with respect and remember people listen and copy you
  • There is no better way to impact society around the world than to build entrepreneurs
  • an opportunity always comes when your passion and what you're good at meets people's needs
  • leaders get results and build relationships
  • bad leadership hold us back, good leadership propels us
  • If your leadership isn't all about you, it will live beyond you
  • when you give away power, you lose nothing, you multiply your leadership
  • the value of a life is always measured by how much of it is given away
  • Leading as a beyond you leader is a personal decision
There are many more that flowed out the #Leadercast .... such great learning in so many ways.
Thanks again to the participants.
Next year we are focusing on The Brave Ones.....funny how that coincides with my theme for the year!!!

6 Questions


Here are 6 Questions Every Leader Should Ask - from Andy Stanley, a 3rd year Leadercast speaker who always has great insight and shares thoughts with us regularly that move us forward.


  1. Which gauges should we be watching?
  2. Where are we manufacturing energy?
  3. Who needs to be sitting at the table?
  4. Who is not keeping up?
  5. Where do I make the greatest contribution to the organization?
  6. What should I stop doing?
Each of these questions, no matter what our role in the organization, helps us tap into our leadership and gain a broader perspective of what we do & how we do it.  It is extremely important to focus on #6 - and this will be fought decision-making - be ready to stop doing things that do not add value.

The Leadercast Journey


The day is here.  On Friday we will be joining over 150,000 people around the world to celebrate leadership and spend time learning what it means to lead beyond you.  This day has the potential to change lives - and believe me it does.  I find a new depth and space to my own leadership and how I translate and transmit that to others never ceases to amaze me. (Even my mom, who has been retired for 20 years says she learns new things every year right here!)

I would like to extend a special welcome and thank you to the supporting cast that helps bring this event to life every year for the people of our community.  Your thoughts, ideas, words of wisdom and willingness to share your time and your heart truly make a difference and help me stay focused on delivering the best experience possible.

Your leadership in this event has helped us to develop even more - to reach even further, to go beyond.

At Leadercast Windsor Essex this year, we will launch a new leadership initiative called Lab 4 Leaders.  Join us as we celebrate this new way to connect and grow as leaders, while growing leaders in our community and beyond.
