I heard a story the other day that reminded me of the need for leaders and people in general to seek to understand first before getting involved. In my years of observing leaders I have seen many of them jump to conclusions and get involved in issues way too soon.
Leadership Stories Series

Here are two leadership and integrity stories that you might want to share with your teams. Both stories have something very interesting in common.

In the daily grind of life we sometimes fail to recognize all of the good that is done on our behalf. Here is an inspirational teamwork story I heard the other day that demonstrates that there are many working on a team that we often times fail to recognize for their good work.

I have never known a perfect team that consisted of perfect people. Perfect teams are diverse teams and each comes with people who are weak in some areas and strong in others. I love the following story that illustrates the need to work with less than perfect people, overcome our difference and eventually become the perfect team.

Some people pride themselves on being on time. For others being on time is only something they think about when they are late. Here is a fun leadership story that you can share with your teams about the importance of being on time and the consequences if you aren’t. I am not sure if it is based on a true story or not (I hope not), but it is pretty funny.
