Phil,

You are so right about wanting to be around others who are constantly learning. It's easy to find out interesting things when we first meet someone. As time goes on, those who make a habit of trying new things, learning, and sharing that learning, are like magnets who attract and keep our attention.

Thanks for encouraging us to live, learn, and lead.

Phil, The connections that you provide at your site lay witness upon your own ability to Live...Learn...Lead!

What strikes me is the ones who stay in their rooms and those that get out and socialize is a matter of choice - a choice to give up and die or a choice to live and thrive.

Adapting to ones circumstances and trying to make the most of where you are planted is a choice that you make in your conscious or unconscious - making a conscious choice - is a life management skill and a trait of effective personal leadership.

I think you’ve revealed a key Greg, in that personal leadership is the early germination of our growing, eventually personifying the magnetic kind of leadership attraction (love that visual!) that Blaine has mentioned. Indeed, personal leadership IS about exercising our power of choice, and following it up with the visible and self-affirming action that enlivens us.

I agree with Dave Phil; as usual, you have written a short but sweet-spot, direct-coaching post which has become your trademark of positive enthusiasm —an energy fix we’ve all come to rely on!

[Phil Gerbyshak]

Blaine, Dave, Greg & Rosa:
Thank you for your comments. I agree with all you've said, and am glad to share the energy with all of you. I choose to do that, because sharing what I have with all of you, and then reading your encouraging notes, gives me the energy to continue to do so.

An energy fix for now, but don't forget to take an energy break and re-charge those batteries!

Well said Phil! There is absolutely no doubt that if I wasn't learning constantly, I couldn't do an effective job of leading. My teammates depend on me to "stay ahead of the curve", and while it's a challenge, it's an interesting and always intellectually stimulating adventure. And without a challenge like that, I'd probably wither away (or go "extinct", as you call it). Thanks for another high energy post, and you bet we'll keep Making it GREAT!

I agree 100%! In order to be an effective leader, we must be an effective learner. And, learning and curiosity do help us stay young - also keeps the neural pathways in the brain alive and active.
