Today's Leaders

by: jamryn

50 years ago  it has been said that to be a successful  and efficient leader - a person should be able to THINK, REMEMBER, IMAGINE and ACT.  Have things realy changed that much - or - could we use those standards yet today?

Leadership consists in the ability to lead and direct thought and action. It enables us to influence people to think as we think, feel as we  feel and act as we would  like them to act.

THINK  Cause and effect - using good judgement - (think) first what the customers need are. How can I best fill those needs - etc.

REMEMBER  People's names which is more important , the team or an indivisual - their perfered choices - favorites ( of your product or service ) - when they might need more or renewinng ( of your product or sercice) etc.

IMAGINE In todays language - Vision.  To be inventive and creative enough  to see possabilities for the future. To want to better the world around them.  

ACT   All three of those are worth nothing at all if you don't ACT upon them.  A leader needs the courage to put all the pieces together and respond. Even when things look bad.

Our leaders today - are they Thinking cleary? Are they taking into account what's best for all of us - or just themselves? Are they stuck in their own thoughts of grandure or are they truly reaching out toward a better future for us all? Do they have the courage to move forward and act on it?
