Setting Priorities...Valorie Burton

Not everything on your to-do list is a real priority. Narrow your list into four categories:

• Do it. 
• Delay it. 
• Delete it. 
• Delegate it.

#LeadershipTuesdays: When Its Okay To Be Inpatient...Ursula Burns

“We all need to be more impatient with the status quo. I believe we all need to shift the emphasis of our thinking -- from why we can't create more jobs to how we can create more jobs… from why we can't compete to how we can compete… from why hunger, poverty and injustice exists in the world to how they can be eliminated...In other words, we all need to be a little more impatient.”*

--Ursula Burns, Chairwoman and CEO, Xerox

Setting Our Priorities...Bell Hooks

“When we black people commit ourselves to living simply as a political action, as a way of breaking the stress caused by unrelenting hedonistic desire for material objects that are not needed for survival, or essential to well-being, we will not be talking about Ebonics. We will be out in the streets demanding that the public schools have enough teachers so that all kids, cross color, can read and write in standard English and in Spanish too.”

--Bell Hooks, Black Genius: African-American Solutions To African-American Problems

Setting Your Priorities...Richie Norton

“You gotta make it a priority to make your priorities a priority.”
