morning message from Napoleon Hill Archives
there is more to the message, it is however one of the reasons I have my face on our Natures Energy Waters business card.
* Lead From the Front
------------------------------------------------------------
True leadership is earned through example, not authority. The leaders who gain lasting respect are those who share the effort and responsibility with the people they guide. They do not demand sacrifices they would refuse to make themselves.
When you treat others with fairness and dignity, and when your actions reflect the same standards you expect from them, trust develops naturally. People willingly follow leaders who demonstrate commitment through their own work.
Leadership is not about standing above the effort—it is about standing within it. Those who carry their share of the burden inspire loyalty and cooperation. When others see that you are willing to give more of yourself than you require from them, respect follows without being asked.
** “The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and shortcomings of his followers.”
—Napoleon Hill
