Although we may not know it, we do make a difference to people’s lives irrespective of our position in society. We as parents make a difference to our children. We as managers and leaders in our organisation make a difference to the people that we work with. As national leaders we make a difference to the whole country.
At these multiple levels of effectiveness the key to making a difference however must be at the personal level. We get that personal level right then we can influence people the right way. We get that wrong we are bound to fail. I always believe that personal victories must also precede interpersonal victories.
