Leadership tips for new managers and volunteer leaders

Name: Shar McBee

Shar McBee is a motivational speaker, a consultant, and the author of two bestselling books. Shar had never received management training when she was suddenly put in charge of supervising 500 people. It was hard. People wouldn't cooperate. They wouldn't do what they were supposed to do. Even worse, they criticized Shar for what she did. Finally, a wise mentor taught Shar a leadership secret. She tried it and it worked amazingly. In business, it made it easy to attract customers. On volunteer projects, it made it very easy to attract volunteers and donations. (In some cases, the increase was as much as 500 %.) Today Shar McBee speaks at about 35 leadership conferences each year. Sharing her secret with new managers and volunteer leaders, Shar has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders. When they learn the Joy of Leadership method, instead of feeling frenzied, being the leader becomes fun.

Ambitious?

Joy   of Leadership

Know where you are going.
Know what you want.
Beware of being ambitious.

Ambition implies impatience.
It means you are trying to force change.
When people perceive that you are ambitious,
they'll resist you.

The next time you are feeling ambitious,
be gentle.
Be gentle on yourself and others.
A blade of grass can crack through concrete.

To reach your goals,
you don't have to be ambitious
You can be gentle as long as you know
where you are going. - Shar McBee

P.S. Will you help create a
