Leadership



We have just changed leaders in our country without any bloodshed. We have been doing this for over two hundred years. I not saying that there haven’t been people that were happy about the change in leadership, but the country has kept going all these years and that is great.

You will not hear from me any political point view because I personally think that would be waste of yours and my time. Let’s face it we all have our opinions and that’s the way it should be, but trying to push them on others is not worth the effort. It is important that you know that I give my best to our new president and wish him all the success in the world.

With that said I would like to tell you what it takes to make a great organization. Number one having a leader with great charisma is OK but only to a point. There have been many great leaders that have been lacking in charisma, but were great leaders. Why might you ask? Will great leads have some qualities that are much deeper than being a great speaker with a lot of charisma? What is this quality? This quality is the ability to select great people to be part of the team. Those that don’t measure up to these quality standards are let off the bus, as you might say. The leader might have a vision but in the end he or she let the vision be developed by the highly competent team.

The development of this vision might not always be a neat and tidy discussion. With all these very competent people a real valued mission is developed. From the mission goals can be put in place with objective with time lines and short term action plans to move the organization forward.

As we watch our new president we should be looking at the quality of the people he is putting on his team. The higher the quality of the members of his team, the more success we can have as a county.

It is my hope and prayer that our president is getting great members as part of his team. These will be good for all of us.

Happiness with Wealth to you
