Passion, Guts and Glory

Passion, Guts and Glory

What do authentic leaders have in common?

They care, teach, affirm, champion, refine, stretch, lead, and love through personal example. They understand that leadership is a matter of influence, not position — influence that results from being both respected and liked! People follow because they want to, not because they have to. Gutsy leaders are excited, engaged, and intensely focused — they are passionate, and their passion is contagious!

Winston Churchill said it well: "The key to your impact as a leader is your own sincerity. Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe."

What will you do to ensure your leadership is characterized by passionguts, and glory
