I hope that you relax and enjoy reading and learning about many parts of my life!
My Dad - a great man - taught me so much about effective leadership.
He told me once - that there are three types of people.
Of course - he didn't mean they should actually bring it with them - well I don't think he meant that!
Nor did he mean you should be looking for hungry people.
We all know them - you know the leadership types I'm talking about - the real leaders. Those individuals in our lives that continually demonstrate good leadership skills.
We can all do the right thing when it is easy - but I am talking about the person that makes the right decision - even when it seems impossible to do. Like those that stormed the beaches in WWII - or marched into Iraq - those were and are real leaders - all the way down to the lowest in rank.
When the Fire Fighters and the Police ran into the World Trade Centers on September 11th to save lives - now those are your real leaders.
And the teachers that take money out of their own back pockets to pay for school supplies or lunch for the poor child in their classroom that can't afford it - there are your real leaders.
Everyday - there will be a fork in the road for you to make a decision. Effective Leaders choose the right road - even when it is hard - even when they know they may not return!
