Admirable is the only choice

Wells Fargo quote about customer courtesy
True 150 years ago, true today. Passion for serving.

 

Tomorrow is Easter.

Listening to Jeremy Camp’s Reckless CD.

Use us Lord.

There is no greater leadership than servant leadership.

We know this.

And some are lucky enough to be crystal clear about their passion.

Being on fire with the commitment to live a life so admirable that if someone said something bad about them, no one would believe it.

The job of a great leader?

Philosophy quote
It matters little to walk to do the preaching if not our walking, is the preaching.

 

How important is creativity in leading others well? And what exactly does doing it well mean?

First, there is nothing more important to a leader than doing it well. That’s our job.

Second, the measure of success is in inspiring others to want to do the work that’s necessary.

And to have them driven, determined, grateful, and humbled to feel the privilege to do the work.

And to create more leaders. That’s the job of a great leader.

Teens (right w/chopsticks) and people in general are starving for great leadership

 

Parent to child is like leader to direct report.

At it’s best it is honesty and trust – with no exceptions.

It is in being willing to fight (to the ‘death’, if necessary) for this relationship – at any cost.

It is fearlessly taking the lead.

Why?

To teach.

Why?

To grow more leaders.

Better leaders.

Even better than ourselves.

That’s what helped us, right?

How would we not spend our lives repaying the debt of gratitude?

What are our top three leadership values?

 

Want to freak out surprise your boss?

Ask her:

What are your top three leadership values?

Good idea to only ask questions we have answers for, right? If asked (in priority order):

  1. Trust
  2. Respect
  3. Develop

Most of us are so busy going through the motions we fail to have nailed the basics.

Basics like having prioritized values that everyone can remember, and that mean something to everyone.
