  2. Leadership Even on your worst day!

  3. Leaders aren’t born, they are made. They are made just like anything else, through hard work. That’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any other goal. Vince Lombardi

  4. Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.  John F. Kennedy

  5. Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.  When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.  Jack Welch

  6. A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.  John Maxwell

  7. Leadership is the capacity and the will to rally men and women to common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.  General Montgomery

  8. As we look ahead into the next century, LEADERS will be those who empower others.  Bill Gates

  9. The Human Element The human element is our most important consideration. Set the tone and create a climate for each and everyone to excel. Followership grows with individual growth and enthusiasm.

  10. Attitude Is Everything • Attitude is the way you think. • Your attitude is something other people can actually see. • They hear it in your voice, they see it in the way you move, feel it when they are with you. • Your attitude expresses itself in everything you do, all the time, wherever you are.

  11. The Leadership Challenge • Praise/discipline them • They will be you/You were them • Help them to be tomorrow’s Senior Leaders • Lead them • Teach them • Encourage them to try/take risks • Observe and adjust them

  12. Mentoring • Must make the time . . . Use it wisely . . . One-on-One • Be responsible/accountable for all aspects of their professional life and personal well-being • Set clear, high standards. Demand their Best . . . Always. • Know your people and their record. Provide honest feedback . Build on strengths . . . Assist to improve weaknesses. • Assist with career planning

  13. Character • Honesty • Genuine…Up Front • Do something at their expense . . . You’ll lose them • Without trust . . . You can’t lead • Not what you say, but what you do . . . Must see you do the “hard things” • Sacrifice for them . . . Work hard and endure even greater hardship • Give them credit for the good . . . You take the blame for the bad.

  14. Care For Your People • They expect 150% of your time and your best effort . . . ALWAYS • Everyday . . . Someone needs your care, your concern, and your help. • Spend extra time to get to know them • Really care for them, sacrifice for them, simply enjoy being with them • Place their welfare above yours • Teach them . . . Work with them . . . Help them reach for the highest standards

  15. Professional Competence • Skill • Knowledge • Experience • Study continuously • Teach them • Practice with them • They must be confident in your skill/knowledge

  16. Men and women make history and not the other way around.  In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still.  Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.  Harry S. Truman
