The World Is No Longer The Same

A social used to be a gathering with colleagues.



An office certainly did not used to look like that.



Surfing used to be an outdoor sport.



Only your head used to be in the cloud.



Twitter used to be a sound.



Skype used to be a typographical error.



Big data used to be a rock band.



4G used to be a parking slot.



What does that mean for you?

Being a leader doesn’t require a title and having a title doesn’t make you one. Everyone can (has to) be a leader!



My questions to you:





Can you connect and interact with people and generate positive

energy?

45




Do you want to make a difference for your team, your organization,

your community?

46




Are you bold enough to have vision and humble enough to

recognize achieving it will take the efforts of many people?

47




Will you influence people around you in a positive way and help

them advance?

48




Will you ignite the imagination of your people and help them shine?

49


You have your answer!



Look around you! You have your answer!





You are leaders
