Effective leaders

…ask good questions and wait long enough for the answer.

…look for roadblocks and remove them so that others can win.

…set boundaries but know that there are times to break the rules.

…motivate people by catching them doing something right.

…walk beside you and don’t sneak up behind you.

…believe the best about your motives and help strengthen them.

…are able to apologize and admit weakness.

Effective leaders always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.

May it be so with me.
