19- No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or
to get all the credit for doing it - Andre Carnegie
Leadership, by definition, cannot be a one man show. If I don't possess the
humility and desire to enable me to praise others and give them credit for
their success. I'll be severely handicapped in my leadership. If my ego is so
big that I insist on the applause, attention, and affirmation, potential
partners will leave me alone, and I will end up with only what one person can
accomplish.
20- The most effective leadership is by example, not edict - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nearly 90% of how people learn is visual. It's what they see. Another 9% of our
learning is verbal, or what we hear. About 1% is through our other senses. This
along explains why effective leadership is more caught them taught. people need
to sees a sermon, more than hear it, to relly embrace it. A leader's
credibility and his right to be fllowed are based on his life, as much as his
lip.
21- Today a reader - tomorrow a leader - W. Fusselman
One of the principles I've always tried to practice is to be well-read. I believe every meeting I enter without the preparation of good informations is one where I can't easily assume my leadership role. Knowledge is power. As the leader, I must know more about the options if front of us, than my boards and comittees. Reading helps my leading.
The Power the Leadership - John C. Maxwell
