We have to “lead” and

provide order within our universe!

Leadership is not what it used to be.

Leadership is not what it used to be.

“Leadership may have to come in a

different package. It’s got to be

credible… overall, it’s about credibility,

walking the talk.”

Anne Mulcahy, Chairman and CEO, Xerox

Where do we find leaders today?

Leaders aren’t born… they’re developed.

(You can’t buy them on e-Bay either!)

This is your Mission.

This is your business.

This is why you have an NMA chapter!

“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over

themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first.”

Harry S. Truman

At NMA, we want to change the way you

think about leadership.

It’s not about position.

“Leadership is NOT by itself good

or desirable…

Leadership is a MEANS.

Leadership TO WHAT END is thus the crucial question.”

Peter Drucker

you want to
