NL #5 – Great Leader. Lead with Integrity. Take a Risk.

Thought #1 – Great Leader.

You just don’t get up one day and become a great leader. It comes with intentional self-improvement and commitment to clarify your own vision and mission.

Thought #2 – Lead with Integrity.

Integrity is deciding to do what is right, even when no one is looking. Sometimes making the right choice is not easy, but upholding good values will lead to ethical behavior.

Thought #3 – Take a Risk.

Take a risk! Who knows it just may lead to innovation, new discoveries, and success.


Quote of the Week

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He [She] does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his [her]actions and the integrity of his [her] intent.

-General Douglas MacArthur
