I have said many a time, “You never know who is watching you, learning from you, or being affected by you.”" is so very true! Once a leader recognizes that, it's really hard to turn your back on your own development, as you have a responsibity not only for yourself, but for others! Unless, of course, you want a job and not a career :) Great post, Dr. Hale! Your comment, “Each day people are watching you.

Everyone who is serious about their career should take their personal development seriously. Simply put if you don't care about your own development why should anyone else? Tanks for recommending "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership", very good book enjoyed reading it. I couldn’t agree with you more Dr. Hale.

For me it is also a conscious effort that I schedule time for reading and focusing on career development - if you don't put it on the "to do" list, it won't happen by accident. Well said!
