If it's true it only takes 21 days to form a habit, tell me how I can break a streak I've had going for five months all of a sudden?? No biggy, but that daily calendar from "The Power of Full Engagement" that I like so much I've recently fallen out of the habit of reading first thing in the morning. Go figure. Well, I just got all caught up and really liked two quotes from earlier this week. Indulge me:

"After interviewing a large sample of managers and their employees, the Gallup Organization found that no single factor more clearly predicts the productivity of an employee than his relationship with his direct superior. More specifically, Gallup found that the key drivers of productivity for employees include whether they feel cared for by a supervisor or someone at work, whether they have received recognition or praise during the past seven days, and whether someone at work regularly encourages their development. Put another way, the ability to communicate consistently positive energy lies at the heart of effective management."

"The key muscle that fuels spiritual energy is character-the courage and conviction to live by our values, even when doing so requires personal sacrifice and hardship. Supportive spiritual muscles include passion, commitment, integrity, and honesty."

End quotes...no charge. Carry on.
