Plato said, "The greater part of instruction is being reminded of things you already know."
I need to be constantly reminded of true leadership.
Here is an paragraph from John Maxwell's book, "Leadership Gold."
Leadership requires diligence, time and effort. Leadership is a willingness to put oneself at risk. The passion to make a difference with others, being dissatisfied with the current reality, taking responsibility while others are making excuses, seeing the possibilities in a situation while others are seeing the limitations, readiness to stand out in a crowd, having an open mind and an open heart, the ability to submerge your ego for the sake of what is best, invoking in others the capacity to dream, it's inspiring others with a vision of what they can contribute, the power of one harnessing the power of many, heart speaking to the hearts of others, integration of heart head and soul, capacity to care, and in caring to liberate the ideas energy and capacity of others, the dream made reality, leadership is above all courageous.
