I Knew What I Did And I

Leadership Is A Choice. It's Not A Rank, It's A Choice. I Know Many People Who Are At The Top Of Their Organization Who Have Authority. We Have To Do What They Say Because They Have Authority Over Us. But They're Not Leaders. We Wouldn't Follow Them. They May Be At The Top Of The Company But They're Not Leaders.

I Like Stories Of The Classic Hero, Of Good Versus Evil, The Ones In Which The Good Guys Wear White And The Bad Guys Wear Black... And I Love A Good Sword Fight.

I Put Messages Out There That Start With Why And They Talk About What I Believe. They Go On To Demonstrate And Give Examples. If It Resonates With Others, Those With Whom It Resonates Will Share It With Their Friends And Say, "this Inspired Me. You Should Watch It. You Should Read This."

You'll Never See The President Carry His Own Luggage, And Why? Because Even Though We Know He Has Luggage, It Would Reduce His Stature If He Was Too Much Like Us. We Need To Think Of Our Leaders As Being Above Us, Even Though They Must Still Relate To Us.

Focus On Where You're Going And You'll Know What Steps To Take. Focus On The Steps You're Taking And You Won't Know Where You're Going.
