The Leader, does not hold people down, she lifts them up. She reaches
out her hand to help her followers scale the peaks.
The Leader, has faith in people. She believes in them, trusts them and
thus draws out the best in them. She has found that they rise to
her high expectations.
The Leader, is a serf-starter. She creates plans and sets them in
motion. She is both a person of thought and a person of action.
The Leader, has a sense of humor. She is not a stuffed shirt. She can
laugh at herself. She has a humble spirit.
The Leader, can be led. She is nit interested in having her own way, but
in finding the best way.
She has an open mind.
The Leader is a great servant. Jesus Christ expressed the ideal of
leadership in a democracy when he said, "And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant."
The Leader, assumes that her followers are working with her, not for
her. She considers them partners in the work and sees to it that
they share in the rewards. She glorifies the team spirit.
The Leader, does not say, "Get going!" Instead, she says, "Let's go!"
and leads the way. She does not walk behind with a whip, she is out
front with a banner.
