EXCERPTS FROM LEADERSHIPHAIKU » http://twitter.com/LeadershipHaiku/

An ongoing side-project of mine, "LeadershipHaiku" provides "tweet" sized leadership lessons in 17-syllables and 140-characters or less. (In Twitter-like fashion, hash-tags (#) are provided to further articulate each tweet's significance.) Best savored slowly, settle yourself down before contemplating their message and meaning. Then return to your day and 'actionalize' whatever you've learned.

• // PERSEVERANCE will / distinguish the truly GREAT / from the also-rans. // #Leadership #Haiku #Sticktoitiveness
