2. THREE
KILLERS OF PRODUCTIVITY
- By Isabelle Mercier-Turcotte
KILLER #1:
Putting off the tough stuff.
Everyone's done this at some point or another as

Dare to Go Forward

foremost of the virtues because upon it, all others depend”.
Courage is the chief distinguishing characteristic of the true leader.

actions. It is absolutely indispensable to success, happiness and the
ability to motivate other people to be the best they can be. read more...
