For What It's Worth

Boyd on Leadership

Here are my fundamental principles on leadership. I don't claim to be a great leader, but I have been in some leadership positions over the years. Have learned some things by making lots of mistakes.

1) To be a good leader, always be found doing what is right and always act out of love.

a) If you're doing what is the easier course, you're probably not doing what is right.

b) Special effort to communicate well (concisely and honestly) is one of the most important acts of love. It takes a lot of effort to communicate effectively.

2) To be a great leader, use creativity and inspire others to great things.

3) Item 2 can't be accomplished if you aren't doing item 1.
