Trish Sadar's insight:

Don't just read this posting, please print and refer to it often.  These are all excellent reminders to all of us to be the best we can be as individuals and as leaders.

 

Leading is not managing.  It is a privilege that is earned each day. 

 

One thought for the day:  Serving others is the mark of a true leader.  Pretend that your contract as a leader lasts only one year, and your staff make the decision to re-sign you as their leader or not. 

 

Would you be fired or re-hired?

Leadership Lessons from the 6th Grade

Leadership Lessons from the 6th Grade | Leadership Advice & Tips | Scoop.it

Some of the most exciting and rewarding sessions I delivered this year were the ones I facilitated with sixth graders at a local school.

 

During the sessions, follow-up conversations, meetings and graduation, I was intrigued by many of the comments made by the students as they shared their views on leadership. I made it a point to capture some of their most meaningful observations.


Here are a few priceless comments from these wise leaders:


~Leadership is doing something special or hard

~Seeing the best in others instead of being mean


~Keep in mind a person’s strengths even when they make me mad

~If I am wrong, I learn something


~Social responsibility is being loyal to your friends

~Leadership is getting things done and having fun

 

~Doing my best work and being OK when I am not at my best
