What we do is more important than what we say as leaders – and as Ganhdi demonstrated. Whether we do wrong, or whether we do right it is noticed. This video demonstrates the power of how our parenting by example can adversily affect our children.
Pure Leadership
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.
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.
Every moment of my life from the first steps of my children, first haircuts, first loss tooth, first soccer goals, first dances and first driver licenses are gone. Past relationships, homes and communities we have lived in, youth teams I have coached, volunteer work I have done, employment I have had, and teams I have led; they are all memories. I can’t relive any of it, but I can embrace all of it.
But I wonder why the symphony of sympathy is always played in defense of others when they get caught? Wasn’t this more than a onetime mistake?
