I have found a new book that I LOVE! It is 40 Leadership Nuggets to Live by ~ By Stephen I Nellas
I am not a reader. I have always disliked reading and can't seem to focus on the words because my mind is running wild. I'm not sure what happened. Ever since I got my Kindle, I have become a reader! I love it! This is my latest find and I wanted to share some of the amazing things that I have found in this book.
First and foremost, his first nugget is about doing what you are asking people to do. My ex-husband was in the car business for most of the 17 years that we were together. I know what you're thinking... a car salesman... YUCK. Well, he was one of those people that you just trusted and he was known for getting you a good fair deal, so he did pretty well for himself. One of the things that he claimed was a reason for his success as he managed others was that he didn't ask anyone to do anything that he wasn't willing to do himself. Enough about him and back to the book.
A leader is first and foremost a follower. ~ Stephen I. Nellas
The first thing that he follows is his own word; he practices what he preaches. Following is always a trait of great leaders. The leader will not ask anyone to do anything he will not do himself. He is a person who values the principles of obedience and humility. He knows that there are people who are genuinely better than he is, and he knows that he is also better than other people in specific things. (Nellas, S. I. (2012). 40 Leadership Nuggets of Wisdom to Live By)

Who do you follow?
Do you follow them because you respect them? Or because you fear them?
Are people following you?
