THE IMAGE OF LEADERSHIP

 

 

A leader’s a man, who commands much respect,

But due to the nature of all,

He is only as good as the image he casts

In the mirror that hangs on the wall.

He usually sees what he wants, and no more,

He is afraid to look deep in his soul.

He doesn’t consider himself as at fault,

But wants others to help reach his goal.

When failures arise he blames it on all

Who failed to help or take part,

“They never did what they were told,” he would say,

“They haven’t the skill or the art.”

What kind of a leader are you going to be- the kind who thinks he is the best?

Or will you be one of the very few greats

Who attributes success to the rest.

Don’t fail to look at the help you receive

From parents or friends all your life.

They comforted you, praised you and gave you the push

To help you through trouble and strife

Another whose help you should never forget,

Who gave your life and his love,

The one to whom all of our assets are known

Is the one whom we pray to above.

Be humble in all your leadership traits.

Thank those who have made you so tall.

Be human to others, consider them too,

Then smile through the glass on the wall.

- John Schoolland
