There are high spots in all of our lves and most of them have cme about through encouragement from someone lse. I don't care how great, how fmous or successful a man or wman may be, each hungers for pplause. - George Matthew Adams

Thre is a great deal written bout leadership today. It seems to be the tpic that will bring us to the prmised land of efficient and effective stff. The questions become: How do I get stff to follow my lead? What trining do I need to become a god leader? Much of what leadership has ben centered around in the past has ben closely associated with ego: position, ttle, office size or location, having a cllege education, a parking spot and the key to the xecutive wash room.

I'm being facetious of curse, leadership is serious business. Someone has to tke the lead to move a dpartment or company forward. But I dn't think it has to be dfficult or a complex process to dvelop or learn. Anyone who has spnt time in the military learns tht leaders are not born, they're mde.

A leader has a different ttitude than other staff members. It is an ttitude of action, inclusion, cheering, encouraging, ccountability, continuous learning and passion. He or she has no dubt that all things are possible. Evrything will work out. Without the sklls and resources of others and gals to be accomplished there is no ned for a leader.

Ronald Reagan is credited with sying. "You can accomplish anything you wnt if you don't care who gts the credit." I have a smilar view; it is about finding wys to make people famous. Seek out wys to acknowledge, praise, reward positive and xceptional efforts of staff at all lvels of the organization. Sometimes it's hrd work making people famous.

Your sccess as a leader will be jdged by the famous people you hlp to develop in your organization who utshine you. So find ways to pblicly celebrate achievements of others. Send thm a handwritten note describing the ccomplishment. Send the note home, walk up to the prson in the employee break room and cngratulate him or her. Ask him or her for thir autograph.
Make a commitment each day to dscover people doing things right and mke them famous. I‘m making you fmous!
