Who I'd like to meet:
I am a firm believer that God determines who walks into your
life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and
who you refuse to let go.
The major attributes of leadership
. UNWAVERING COURAGE based
upon knowledge of self, and of one's occupation. No follower wishes to be
dominated by a leader who lacks self- confidence and courage. No intelligent
follower will be dominated by such a leader very long.
2. SELF-CONTROL. The man who cannot control himself, can never control others.
Self-control sets a mighty example for one's followers, which the more
intelligent will emulate.
3. A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE. Without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader
can command and retain the respect of his followers.
4. DEFINITENESS OF DECISION. The man who wavers in his decisions, shows that he
is not sure of himself. He cannot lead others successfully.
5. DEFINITENESS OF PLANS. The successful leader must plan his work, and work
his plan. A leader who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans,
is comparable to a ship without a rudder. Sooner or later he will land on the
rocks.
6. THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR. One of the penalties of leadership is
the necessity of willingness, upon the part of the leader, to do more than he
requires of his followers.
7. A PLEASING PERSONALITY. No slovenly, careless person can become a successful
leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect a leader who
does not grade high on all of the factors of a Pleasing Personality.
8. SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. The successful leader must be in sympathy with
his followers. Moreover, he must understand them and their problems.
9. MASTERY OF DETAIL. Successful leadership calls for mastery of details of the
leader's position.
10. WILLINGNESS TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY. The successful leader must be
willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of his
followers. If he tries to shift this responsibility, he will not remain the
leader. If one of his followers makes a mistake, and shows himself incompetent,
the leader must consider that it is he who failed.
11. COOPERATION. The successful leader must understand, and apply the principle
of cooperative effort and be able to induce his followers to do the same.
Leadership calls for POWER, and power calls for COOPERATION.
