Leadership is the ability to establish a culture where people can
make contributions, use their unique talents, and feel that they
have been part of something bigger than they are.
• Leadership is not:
– Playing a role.
– Acting a part.
– Wearing a uniform.
– Holding an office.
• Leadership is:
– Caring about people and an organization.
– Putting others’ needs ahead of your own.
– Giving more of yourself than just enough to get by.
– Working hard on the “dirty work.”
