The best example of a shared vision is the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team!

Leaders actively seek out ways to increase choice, providing greater decision-making authority and responsibility.They develop the capabilities of their team and foster self-confidence through the faith they demonstrate in letting other people lead.Leaders help others learn how to use their skills and talents, as well as learn from their experiences.

We all have weaknesses, which is why we need each otherTo address weaknesses, a good leader builds on strengthA good team is one which offsets each others weaknessesA good leader puts together the right team, and then lets the play!

If each player executes his or her assignment, we will win!A true leader doesnt just talk team, but truly believes its the teams energy and ideas that make things happen.

The secret to success in life is staying in love.Its hard to imagine leaders putting in the long hours and hard work without having their hearts in it.The best kept secret of successful leaders is staying in love: in love with leading, the people who do the work, with what their organizations produce, etc.Leadership is NOT an affair of the head. It is an affair of the heart!Remember the Titans - 'Let Him Through'.avi
