People Will Do As They Are Told

The Responsibility Of Leadership Is Not Taken, It Is Given. Only When Others Choose To Follow Us Can We Truly Lead.

There Is A Difference Between Listening And Waiting For Your Turn To Speak.

Systems And Processes Are Essential To Keep The Crusade Going, But They Should Not Replace The Crusade.

If Our Leaders Are To Enjoy The Trappings Of Their Position In The Hierarchy, Then We Expect Them To Offer Us Protection. The Problem Is, For Many Of The Overpaid Leaders, We Know That They Took The Money And Perks And Didn’t Offer Protection To Their People. In Some Cases, They Even Sacrificed Their People To Protect Or Boost Their Own Interests. This Is What So Viscerally Offends Us. We Only Accuse Them Of Greed And Excess When We Feel They Have Violated The Very Definition Of What It Means To Be A Leader.

Though We May Have Desires Or Bold Goals, For Whatever Reason, Most Of Us Don't Think We Can Achieve Something Beyond What We're Qualified To Achieve. Why, I Ask, Do We Let Reality Interfere With Our Dreams?
