If assumptions were true, your leadership skills would be as good as it gets.

Have fun with this workout over the summer and I will be back on September 10th with a different flavor of this leadership minute.

If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don’t tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate.  Even if we hear something and we don’t understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions.  We make all sort of assumptions because we don’t have the courage to ask questions.” _ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
