Welcome to Inspirational Thinking!

Positive Thinking will always get you farther. Inspirational Thinking comes from within. You must always inspire yourself first to do great things, then inspire others within your circle of influence. Each person is capable of doing great things in the best way they can. Being a positive and inspirational thinker will rub off on others and in a business or family atmosphere will make your life worthwhile.

Bosses

I have an great Boss. I have been very fortunate that my past few bosses have been rather great. They are great leaders and know how to inspire people. A lot of times that same inspiration turns into suffocating. 

"I forgot to do something"

My boss was pissed. Not suffocating just upset. See the thing about my boss is that she was upset not because I didn't do the items that she assigned but she is upset because she believed in me and I had failed her. The talk started out as a stern talk. Then she started to inspire me again and then realized that I she really wasn't my boss. She was something more than a boss, a mentor. I was inspired by how much she cared. It wasn't the words but is was her caring nature and how much she wanted me to succeed. She didn't have a hidden agenda, she spoke from the heart. The numbers which really matter to an Inspirational Leader are turnover and loyalty. Her people are loyal. In the field that we work in the average annual turnover rate sits between 90%-110%. Her turnover sits around 25%.

Remember to care for your employees because without them you can not get anything accomplished.
