49 - Member - when I am wrong, make me willing to change: when I am right, 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.
What a fitting note to conclude with. This disarming petition forces me, as a leader to adjust my heart as well as my head. When all is said and done. I want the life I model to speak louder than the degrees, ranks, and titles I may have earned. After all, when my journey is over, I want my leadership to be who I am, not merely what my job descriptin says I do.
50 - If you see a snake, just kill it. Don't appoint a committee on snakes. - H. Ross Perot.
So much needless red tape exites in many organizations. I hate red tape. i agree with Ross Perot when it comes to the " snakes " of life. If we know what the " bottom line " is, then we can clear any obstacle that prevents that goal. Often, we don't need any further research or discussion: we simply hide behind it because it looks like positive actions.Look for ways to realistically solve porblems Activity does not always equal accomplishment.
51 - Some people change job, mates and friends, but think of changing themselves. - geoffrey F. Abert.
We live in a generation consumed with changing exteriors. We've bought into the notion that if we just can change the people, . circumstances, and environment around us, we can solve our problems. Most fof the time, however, the issue lies within us, God doesn't hold us responsible for what happens to us, but for what happens in us.
The Power of Leadership - John C. Maxwell
