If our organization is to live up to its Basic Values and Vision, a key ingredient will be Leadership from a very large number of us. Simply and plainly defined, Leaders are people who have followers. They have earned recognition and respect. Leaders are first a servant of those they lead. They are a teacher, a source of information and knowledge, and a standard setter, more than a giver of directions and a disciplinarian.
Leaders see things through the eyes of their followers.
They put themselves in others' shoes and help them make their dreams come true. Leaders assume that their followers are working with them. They consider others as partners in the work and see to it that they share in the rewards. They glorify the team spirit. Leaders are people builders.
