For the past year, my Tuesday nights have been filled with insights and  inspiration from the worlds top leaders who faithfully gather on Twitter for one of the most powerful and productive chat streams on Twitter:  #leadershipchat The chat is co-hosted by author and CEO of C-Level Strategies, Inc, Lisa Petrilli (@LisaPetrilli) and The Connection Agent,  Steve Woodruff (@swoodruff) , and each week  they challenge and guide us through the questions that challenge us to be the best leaders in our fields and industry. I have learned a lot from this super smart crew, and I am very very proud to be part of this community.  It is what makes this Tuesday night even more special to me.  I have the distinguished honor of being a featured  #leadershipchat  guest and cohost. We have an exciting show planned for Tuesday Feb 7, 8pm EST entitled :  YOU MATTER: Two Words Changing Leadership and the World I am equally thrilled to be joined by the authors of the newly-released bestselling book, Have a Nice Conflict. Authors Tim Scudder, Michael Patterson and Kent Mitchell, who have written a brilliant road map for better understanding and navigating conflict, and for using this knowledge to be a more effective and successful leader who matters!! I highly recommend it! Buy it today!

I believe the concerted and consistent use of the words, “You matter,” by leaders in an organization, and actions that reinforce this message, can change a company. After all, according to a Gallup survey of more than 1 million employed US workers, the Number One reason people quit their jobs is a bad boss. Imagine if people began to be told by their boss on a regular basis that they matter… Knowing that in an organization people are your biggest asset, this change of mindset would make a tremendously powerful and positive impact.
