Are You Ready To Lead?

Happy #LeadershipTuesday! When fear drives our behavior, we operate from a position of scarcity and exclusion. We devalue people who are different from us because we perceive their uniqueness as a threat. That's not good leadership.

Great leaders build a team of talented players who have different strengths but play in such a way that they maximize the total value of the team. They develop people and help them see both their strengths and weaknesses as opportunities to partner with others. Great leaders recognize a team win is a win for everyone! 

Abuse of Power, Code And System...Frederic Bastiat

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men [or women] in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."  

--Frederic Bastiat

#LeadershipTuesdays: Leading Ethically...Linda Fisher Thornton

Ethical leaders set the tone for an organization. Their example is the levees for team members. How they handle breaches in organizational values will determine how the organization operates both internally and externally.
