A True Leader Leads


Motivational Power Quote

A True Leader Leads 
“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 does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one by the quality of his actions
and the integrity of his intent.”

As I see it . . . . . . .

A true leader leads

A true leader leads and commands respect not by their title by have but through their actions as Admiral Halsey did in World War II

A true leader creates confidence not by their words or what they’re going to do but what and when they do it. A good example is President John F. Kennedy taking control and handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

A true leader makes the tough decision want they have to be made and does what’s right not what is politically correct. As Ronald Ragan did when he confronted the air controller walkout issue and made the tough decisions.

A true leader listens as Steve Jobs did in bring new products to the market.

One of the strong leaders we have had in the country in the last 50 years is Lee Iacocca he took control of Chrysler when they were on the brink of bankruptcy. He can in took control on the company, listened took advice, made the tough decision, and took action. Chrysler borrowed money stay afloat.

Chrysler emerged as a stronger company and all the money was paid back ahead of schedule. 

Lee Iacocca took command of Chrysler and earned respect through his actions.

A true leader leads from the front and takes command and leads by example.
