Great leaders have the discipline to follow through on commitments. At the very least, a desire to achieve these should be a goal of great leaders. Great leaders see things others can’t see or have failed to pursue. They take people where they need to go, but may be afraid to go on their own.

I’m not saying it will come to this, but it is the level of commitment you need to have before you introduce major change. One of my goals is getting as many answers to questions as possible on the table before the change is implemented. But, before you do anything else, make sure you are in this enough to see it through.

Honestly, I love everyone. Whether or not I talk to you will not be a good determination of whether or not I like you.

Great leaders see it as their main ambition to help others achieve worthy goals they might not achieve on their own. Leaders must be open to listening to the desires of others and incorporating them into the overall goals and objectives of the organization. When you win, I win, and we all win!”. It can’t only be “my way”.

Communicating love to a spouse should be considered a never-ending, life-long commitment. When the goal is to out-serve our wives, we at least make progress towards doing so and it generates a desire to be a servant leader in our homes. If I’m honest, however, my wife is usually better at this than me. Consistently out-serve her.
