In my role as a speaker<\/a>\/consultant, I have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of organizations across a large number of industries. I’m exposed to many leadership styles and results and have interacted with some tremendous teams.<\/p>\n

In doing so, I’ve identified a common thread among today’s workforce … more and more leaders and employees have failed to recognize their own potential! I’m constantly amazed at the fact that I often recognize more potential in people than they do themselves. I’m sure there are a number of reasons for this situation. However, in today’s challenging work environment, these reasons must be dealt with in order to obtain the success we seek.<\/p>\n

Years ago, I heard Zig Ziglar share the true story of a Texas landowner who was struggling to support his family. In fact, he was at his wit’s end searching for solutions when he was approached by an oil company. They informed him that there might be oil on his land and offered to pay him royalties for permission to drill. With nothing to lose, the landowner agreed.<\/p>\n

Long story short, the drilling was a success as the oil company discovered “Spindletop,” the most productive single oil well in history!<\/p>\n
