What is Leadership?

Share your ideas of what Leadership means?

My favorite definition:“Leadership is a skill of influencing people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for the common good of the group.”

Something to Think About…

The Lord doesn’t need admirers; He needs followers, President Uchtdorf says. “You learn to be a leader by first learning to be a follower. The scripture says to ‘act,’ not to be ‘acted upon’ ” (2 Nephi 2:26).

Love

Love one another.

Definitions of Love?

It’s a VERB!“I don’t necessarily have to like my players and my associates but as a leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual.”

-Vince Lombardi

Our intentions are not very good, if they don’t line up with our actions.

INTENTIONS – ACTIONS = SQUAT

INTENTIONS + ACTIONS = WILL

Emotional Intelligence

Stimulus
