It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't matter who gets the credit.- Anonymous
When the best leader's work is done, the people say, "We did it ourselves."
- Lao Tzu
Whether in the business world, in our community activities - such as schools or religious groups, or in our families, there are times when each of us takes on a role as leader.
Do you ever feel that there is no recognition for your leadership qualities? If so, that may be a good thing and a great compliment. Consider today's two quotes and contemplate how much more we accomplish, and how much less resistance we create, when we gently guide a group consensus rather than demanding that everybody do things our way.
