The book that won the prize today (meaning I grabbed it and threw it in my purse as I ran out the door) is Maxwell's 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.
It is fascinating to say the least -- strategic and tactical at the same time.
Things that really resonated with me today include:
- Crisis doesn't necessarily make character, but it certainly does reveal it.
- Search for the cracks. Spend time looking at every facet of your life (work, marriage, family) and where you have cut corners or let people down.
- The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
- As you lead people, give of yourself
- If people never know what to expect from you, they stop expecting anything.
- People buy into a leader, not a vision
- Great leaders compromise, but take a stand when needed.
All good thoughts. Pressing on ... pressing on ....
