How closely does what you say as a leader align with what you do? Read on… Here is another great story to share with other leaders. My hope is that we will all better lead by example.
Inspirational Leadership
The thought that comes to me as I watched the powerful video below is that leadership is sometimes a one on one thing that has the potential to affect literally thousands of people, maybe even millions. Anyone can be a leader. I was deeply touched by the leadership a young man by the name of Charles Steadman demonstrated and an entire student body embraced when a young woman by the name of Savannah, who was born with Cerebral Palsy, was voted Homecoming/Inaugural Queen.
If people will pull more out of their pockets as a token of appreciation, what will those you lead give to you if you show more appreciation as a leader? Here are three things you can do to help increase the attitude of gratitude as a leader.
It is always refreshing for me personally to run across a leader like Steven from time to time. I have had a lot of respect and in some cases more loyalty for leaders who could be genuinely emotional on occasion. I am talking about open leaders who could share an inspiring personal story and could shed tears. Or leaders who could cry with those they lead because they care.
Since it’s Friday, here is something a little more lite. I found this wonderful and inspirational video created by ChaplinsViolin a little while back and really, really like it. Enjoy the video, I hope it makes your day better. Remember to smile “You’ll find that life is more worthwhile, if you just smile.”
