Here is a personality test for leaders: those who create products, services, and businesses; those who manage teams big and small; and those who have to be agile thinkers to face complex challenges. Read through the four groups below--Revolutionary, Evolutionary, Traditional, and Reactionary--and see where you fit in as a leader. Then think about your team. And then your organization. Where do they fit? And how can you collectively achieve the change and innovation needed?

I have a soft spot for Revolutionaries, because dedication to innovation is thrilling, and it makes you feel like you're living at the cutting edge and serving a bigger purpose. I have also learned how quickly scales can change, and top organizations and their leaders can get burned out and retreat to the safety of incremental change. Inversely, Evolutionaries can become Revolutionaries; and Naysayers can become the best advocates for disruption once they see the value of being a Revolutionary. 

Recently I attended the National Nurses in Business Association. Each year they have a “shark tank” competition, like the TV show, and this year was the best so far. I can’t believe these business and product ideas created by these amazing nurses.

Gwen Jewell is a wound care nurse and founder of jewellnursingsolutions.com. She created a product which, unlike foam wedges, actually does a much better job at reducing pressure on vulnerable areas.

Lori Forneris, co-owner of Nurse Expert Consultants, wants to create an app to improve communications among staff members. I love how nurses are getting on the tech train.

Yordis Morrison is founder and CEO of Nurses Off The Clock, LLC. When her mother fell ill with cancer, Yordis realized how patients’ bodies are exposed and are not given privacy with the gowns that are normally provided because of all the medical lines and appliances. She created this really cool set of medical pajamas that are covered with buttons and snaps for any type of medical equipment.

For most of my life I was brought up off the teachings from the legendary life coach “Tony Robbins“. I had the opportunity to see Tony live on stage in Sydney a few years ago and I believe his words of advice helped to elevate me to the next level of success during tough times. I was pen to paper the entire conference noting every Tony Robbins quote that I could, saving them to my smart phone and desktop to motivate me each and everyday towards success.

So this collection of Tony Robbins quotes are a homage and respect to the legendary Robbins who is doing amazing things in this world by impacting the lives of those who are passionate about self development.

Below are the top Tony Robbins quotes to help change your life:

“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.” – Tony Robbins
