It's not "making friends and influencing people" - that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond it's normal limitations." ---Peter Drucker ************************************************************************ *** Think of the last time someone you trusted challenged you to stretch. Think of the sense of accomplishment you had as you reached that goal, a goal that you thought was beyond you. You can help others do things that seem impossible to them. And you can start today. by Jean Kelley e-nspire a friend!!

Message-ID: <20040907154130.26246C142@mail.sus4.net> All of us have situations where we are called upon to be a leader. Whether it is at work or in our civic or religious life, effective leadership is important. As leaders we hear a lot about leadership styles. Books and articles on the subject indicate that there might be a right style or a wrong style. Organizational and cultural pressures push people to adapt certain styles. And if our outside style isn't consistent with our internal values we end up with no personal integrity. We come across as unauthentic and fail to get the respect we need to accomplish great results. Before I knew my leadership style should depend upon the situation, I decided that a commanding style was one that would push people to work hard. I incorporated dictatorial behaviors and prodded people relentlessly. All I had was a hammer so everything looked like a nail. I reaped misery, turnover and a bad reputation. I admitted no weakness and had a tendency to be overly direct. I fooled myself into believing that I was being a strong leader. Most people could see my weaknesses better than I could. In my desire to cover up my weaknesses I was only fooling one person - me. Over the years I became a better leader. And I learned that the respect I gained from people was in direct proportion to acknowledging and accepting my weaknesses. by Jean Kelley e-nspire a friend!!
