Leadership Thought for the Day: 3/4/09
Posted on March 4th, 2009 by Pastor Jeff in Leadership
Encouragement
Keeping hope alive is one of the few functions a leader performs. During those times in which others are lost in a dark and seemingly endless maze of despair, effective leaders will drive away the darkness with positive projections for the future. They’ll infuse those around them with optimism regarding themselves, others and the future of the organization. They know when to draw alongside someone. They sense whether a team member needs a quick admonition or a shoulder on which to cry.
Effective leaders sustain hope by offering words of support. And a little bit of encouragement can go along way toward motivating those around you.
