My Mission: To create a new group of real leaders that will inspire another group to be real leaders and so on. Once you realize you do not have to fit in a box that makes others comfortable, you create your own environment. Your creative environment is where you find the business partners, colleagues, friends, etc. That all support the real you. “Intrinsic motivation is conducive to creativity; controlling extrinsic motivation is detrimental to creativity,” Daniel H. Pink. “A real leader is somebody who can help us overcome the limitations of our own individual selfishness and laziness and weakness and fear and get us to do better things than we can get ourselves to do on our own.” – David Foster Wallace Michelle's advice for leaders and quotes: "If leaders focus solely on employee's Business Knowledge and Development, the needs of the employee on the Human Level will not be met." "The lack of basic human interaction around development, thru relationships will get in the way of an organization's growth and the leaders of the organization will lack the ability to understand and respond positively to employees trying to make a difference." "The key to building trust and demonstrating respect is knowing each other on the human level." "The human side of the equation satisfies a person’s need for attention, courteous treatment, and acceptance of their view points." "Real leaders possess certain skills that demonstrate the characteristics to create an environment where employees want to perform."
