LEADERSHIP

 

            This the third on my articles on leadership.  Now I am not a leadership guru

or even a managment expert but I have been a professional leader for over 26 years.

Sometimes I feel I do an adeqaute job and sometimes I fail miserably but I never

give up trying to motivate and encourage people to be and do better.  So I have a

few quotes for you to think about and apply.

 

-  It is better to train 10 people than to try to do the work of 10 people.  But

    it is harder.  (D.L. Moody)

-  A man who wants to lead an orchestra must turn his back on the people.

-  If you are not afraid to face the music you may some day lead the band.

-  Success is knowing the difference between cornering people and getting people

    in their corner.  (Bill Copeland)

-  The employer gets the employees he deserves.  (Sir Walter Bilbey)

-  It is one thing to have ability but the ability to discover ability in others is the true

    test.  (Elbert Hubbard)

-  We too often love things and use people, when we should be using things and

    loving people.

-  Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something that you want

    done because he wants to do it.  (Dwight D. Eisenhower)

-  A good leader inspires of men with confidence in him, a great leader inspires

    them with confidence in themselves.

    then sitting on the sidelines and being a good cheer leader.  (A Marchall Jones)

            Here's a little prayer for all who are in leadership, oh by the way, Mom and

Dad you are a leader, mentor and role model so you can adapt this prayer for your-

self.  "Lord when I am wrong, make me willing to change.  Make me easy to live

with.  So strengthen me that the power of my example will far exceed the authority

of my rank."  (Pauline H. Peters)
