How Visioning Changed My Life Visioning is where my personal effectiveness quest began, in 1974. Even now, as I recall that turning point in my life, a shiver runs up my spine. Leaders are Learned Optimists Optimists excite and arouse others to action by helping them see, believe in, and reach for what could be. Leaders are Made, not Born Effective leaders are made not born. Their Own Destiny Leaders refuse to let fate or others control their destiny.
Leaders take responsibility for their choices.
Such strong leaders remind us that failure is an event, not a person. To fail to attempt is far worse than to attempt and fail. Leaders Make it Happen Leaders act on the belief that choice more than chance determines our circumstance. Leaders don't wait for something to happen, they make it happen. Leaders Put Good Intentions into Action Looking back, we can all point to times in our lives that seem wasted.
