Here is a short little movie.  I think that you all will enjoy it. 

We are all given dreams when we are born; we are all created unique.  No one is just like anyone else.  No one is you.  You are special, and have a purpose while here on earth.  It is up to you to seek it out and to allow yourself to step out and move forward.  We we not meant to just get by, to survive this life. 

It is time to stand up and take ahold of your life.  It is time to STOP being controlled by our circumstances.  We have a choice.  Are we going to let our circumstances tear us down and cripple us, or are we going to grow through them and allow them to make us stronger, and more able to help others? 

Now is the time, and this is the place.  Don't put life off any longer. 

Enjoy the moive.  http://www.thedreamsmovie.com/

You have a strong influence on the thoughts and behaviors of your employees - probably much stronger than you think. Regardless of what appears on job descriptions or in employee handbooks, your behavior is the real performance standard that team members will follow. They'll rightfully assume that it's okay and appropriate to do whatever you do. Why wouldn't they? So it's critical that you set the proper example and desired tone...that you model the performance and behavior you expect from others. Do otherwise, and you're a hypocrite. Ouch!

There's no rocket science here - it's pretty simple stuff. Just pretend that everyone on your team is from Missouri ("The SHOW ME State"). From conduct to commitment...attendance to attitude...respect to responsibility...work ethic to ethics at work - SHOW your people what you want them to do. Let employees know that, in order to be successful, all they have to do is play a game. The name of that game is...

"FOLLOW THE LEADER!"
