AN EFFECTIVE LEADER

AN EFFECTIVE LEADER MUST BE:


Strong enough to be weak

Successful enough to fail

Busy enough to make time

Wise enough to say "I don''t know"

Serious enough to laugh

Rich enough to say "I'm wrong"

Compassionate enough to discipline

Mature enough to be childlike

Important enough to be last

Planned enough to be spontaneous

Controlled enough to be flexible

Free enough to endure captivity

Knowledgeable enough to ask questions

Loving enough to be angry

Great enough to be anonymous

Responsible enough to play

Assured enough to be rejected

Victorious enough to lose

Industrious enough to relax

Leading enough to serve


(Brewer, as cited by Hansel, 1987)
