View of the Week: On Leadership & Commitment To transform

I received this in my daily review of "Verne's Insight" published weekly by Verne Harnish.   This particular poem by Pat Williams, the Co-founder of the Orlando Magic, particularly stuck me as not just a lesson in leadership, but a lesson in life:   

Seven things one must do To be a leader right and true Have vision that is strong and clear Communicate so they can hear Have people skills based in love And character that's far above The competence to solve and teach And boldness that has fearless reach A serving heart that stands close by To help, assist and edify The poem is so simple--yet the very essence of the message so profound especially for those of us who have the privilege and good fortune to serve as mentors and counselors.
