WHAT IS LEADERSHIP

WHAT IS LEADERSHIP

Leadership is what happens before anything does and what happens after anything does. It is teaching, speaking, reading, writing and taking action. It is looking ahead and around for something to be done. It makes things happen. A person can do it. People need it.  Things suffer without it. It raises hopes and makes kings. It makes dreams come true and raises stakes. It makes things work and makes things work better.  It makes sense, synergy, strategy and success. Without it poverty reigns, the rich have it. In a group, you can feel it. Managers use it, the wicked abuse it, and those who fail lose it. It is not magic; it is moral and has method. It is thought to life. When personal, it is character. In business, it is skill. In public, it is culture. In private, it is no less than integrity. It takes skill, but needs the will. It is confident, but needs courage. Leadership is the value you bring.
