Leadership = “Knowing what to do and doing it.”
President Carter
“Leaders whose messages are not changing (or reinforcing) behavior are not true leaders. In fact, they are ‘MISleaders.’”
Leaders
- Choose to lead by stepping out of the darkness and taking others with you.
- Make decisions they have to make even when they might have dangerous consequences
Leadership
- Requires Courage, Tenacity, Perseverance and Mental Toughness
- Must Make Difficult Decisions
- Must be Inspirational and Create Hope, Optimism and Enthusiasm for the Future
Never, never, never give up

It Always Takes A Great Team…Because…Failure Is Not An Option
