Leadership & Projects

Leadership doesn't require a title.  Let's just get done what needs to be done.

The lack of leadership in key leadership positions in this country is disturbing but predictable.

Leadership ability has ceased to be a recognized requirement for these positions including the Presidency even though it is vital to the successful performance of those roles.  

People, because of the influences of many already in positions of leadership exerting their influence, don't recognize that the President is supposed to be a leader, not a know it all. Obama ran on "knowledge" and had 300 advisors during the campaign to be sure all of the "correct answers" were covered.  So much emphasis is placed on a candidate's knowledge of details of issues, that it completely shrouds the existence or non-existence of any vision or goals or belief in the people.  Recent debates focused on legislation as well, but the answers revealed a lack of vision and a lack of understanding and an emphasis on turning leadership into nothing more than legislative abilities. 

The President doesn't have to know everything. He has to have a vision, and be able to get people to be in favor of that vision and that requires incorporating other people's visions and ideas into the broader vision and goals.  He or she has to be able to analyze a set of presented facts about a situation along with the emotions involved, and make a command decision and then accept the responsibility for that decision. That takes leadership skills not a Jeopardy master skillset. 

We elected a pretender to the highest office of the land, not the first time we've done so, and now we're paying the price more and more each day. He's not a leader. He's a glorified legislator. He's a good speaker though and he's got lots of money.  Wouldn't you prefer someone who listens to you and shares with you ways to accomplish great things and then empowers you to achieve them?

A leader leads. - One of my previous bosses.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better. Jim Rohn 

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. Dwight D. Eisenhower 

All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership. John Kenneth Galbraith 

The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. Ken Blanchard 

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams

“A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves” Anonymous

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao Tzu 

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”  John Fitzgerald Kennedy 

We must be able to admit our own mistakes and allow mistakes from others.  Wisdom is in knowing we don't know everything and possibly that we don't know much at all.  Scott Keller
“A leader's role is to raise people's aspirations for what they can become and to release their energies so they will try to get there.”  David R. Gergen 

“The true leader is always led” Carl Gustav Jung (by a mission or purpose or goal - not necessarily by another person)
