I often push myself to move away from the status quo or business as usual.

I regularly take stock of all my responsibilities, discerning which activities are critical and which are expendable, letting go those that no longer support a core function.

I understand the difference between management and leadership and value both skill sets in the workplace.

I am not afraid to raise unpopular positions in my workplace.

I occasionally pull myself away from the everyday tasks and routines to gain perspective on what is really going on and what direction we are taking.

I identify and act to close the gap that exists between the way I am living my life now and what I want to be doing.
