All the effective leaders I have encountered – both those I worked
with and those I merely watched – knew four simple things: a leader is someone
who has followers; popularity is not leadership, results are; leaders are
highly visible, they set examples; leadership is not rank, privilege, titles,
or money, it is responsibility. Effective leaders delegate, but they do not
delegate the one thing that will set the standards. They do it.
Point: Don’t expect to retain the respect of your employees if you
completely delegate the central function of your enterprise, whether it is
healing patients or selling bonds.
Today’s MMM was taken entirely from the thoughts of Peter Drucker
in the book, “The Leader of the Future”.
