Many people don't think of themselves as leaders, but the truth is we all lead all the time. Bosses lead employees, Ministers lead churches, Fathers and mothers lead children. Some lead with their talents, others with their personalities, still others lead with their experience. We all lead by instruction, by inspiration, and (for good or bad) by influence. As there are rules for sailing whether racing or cruising. Understanding some basic leadership rules will help you lead any organization or group of people and keep you "off the rocks" with those you are trying to lead.
Working for a Fortune 500 company, I was excited to see that many of the points that Randy spoke about were in harmony with my learning for my work life. His message is about simple, but often missed truths: how we treat each other, what team is all about, and priorities.
Leadership, for Randy, is a shared experience. He did a great job providing thought provoking scenarios, responses and challenges. His professional experience comes through.
Randy has captured the elements of good leadership in a strong program. Our club is looking to grow our membership and level of participation. We found his message on target to help us with both of these goals.
