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
