Leadership

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

The Second Law...

Apologies for missing last week. things were a little crazy between coaching and my groomsman responsibilities in my buddies wedding...

I kind of struggled with what to put for my quote this week. I know I've already taken a bit from another chapter about leading by example, and there are several other good thoughts in this chapter that are well worth noting, but I'm going to use it anyway.

"The things you hope to teach those under you are best taught by your own behavior - demonstration" (p. 97)

Student Leaders Of JICHS

You have been chosen to serve in a capacity of leadership. This is both an honor and a responsibility. We hope you will take pride in the positions you have earned, and we want to help you realize your highest level of leadership potential. It is not our intention for this to be a rigorous or demanding course of your time and energy, but we do want to expose you to what real and genuine leadership is all about. We want to be an open door for your questions and an example you can follow. We say this not with an air of self righteousness or haughty pride, but with the humility that is tied to one whose every move is scrutinized (just as yours will be by your peers). We (all of us - you included) will fall, we will fail, but without trials and challenges can we have success or victory? To have the courage to face difficulty and the humility to accept responsibility, this is the foundation of leadership, and this is the mentality we ask you to have and seek to help you develop.
