   Stoney,

   Great wisdom from a short post! These reminders have been floating around for some time but should never be overlooked.

   Imagine what would happen in society and business if every parent, boss, friend, employee, teammate and others would embrace these thoughts!

   I’m guessing “Becoming a Leader of Influence” is one of those awful American business speak books whose sole purpose is make money for the author and nobody who actually reads the book?

   Why is “I” the least important word anyway? How would you order food?

   And – the 5 most important words – “You did a good job”, What about “Watch out for that bus”…. ?

   I hate rubbish like this. And remember, there’s no “I” in team kids… ugh…

   Excuse “me” while “I” throw up in “your” face.

   “Becoming a Leader of Influence” was written by John Maxell, one of the most respected writers on the subject of leadership. You can take it however you want.

   You’ve already proven why “I” is the least important. Nobody cares what you think until you have shown them that you care about what they think.

   Thanks for reminding us – this is good stuff we need to constantly be recalling.
