Leadership Promise # 1. Never rely on your brother to buy you a leadership book that can�t be found in a book store. If you want it, go on line and get it yourself ! 2. If you think you are a born leader, think again. If you still think you are a born leader, What are you thinking?? 3. Remember that the only thing Juan Valdez has ever lead is an ass 4. Always be clear on who the leader is. Never attempt to lead your group on a tour of Alcatraz and the San Andreas fault on the same day. 5. When fishin� for Muskie, use a steel leader. 6. Remember, It�s tough to lead your team to full power during the first hour if it takes more than an hour to drink enough coffee to mask the effects of the shots and stogies you did last night. 7. Know that delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too. 8. Recognize that only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women. 9. Be aware that great leaders focus on what they do best. If you are making food for KRAFT, let Rockwell Automation have all of your automation budget dollars. 10. Many say that Jack Welch is the greatest business leader of our time. I know Jack Welch and you don�t know Jack. Mr. Coffee bean, you are no Jack Welch. 11. Ask yourself, if a man is leading a group of other men and there aren�t any women around to witness, is he still doing it wrong? You bet he is! 12. Sometimes leaders need to follow to get ahead. Be aware that the only difference between a brown noser and an ass kisser is depth perception. 13. Be cognizant of the fact that Lee Iacooca once said: �Lead, follow or get out of the way.� With your leadership skills, you may as well get out of the way.
And that concludes Leadership Promises for Every Day by Maximus J. Bigswell Narrated by Uncle Giga with a one-liner by featured guest Mel Mo copyright 2005 |
