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.

Have You Been Bitten?

Joy of Leadership

Attempting to fix people is like
trying to force progress.

When we try to change people
rather than letting them evolve,
we get bitten.

It’s a very thin line that you step
over when you tell someone what
is wrong with him.

Thorny situations develop over time.
They can’t be fixed over night.
It takes tolerance and patience.

I know this. Every time I’ve
tried to fix people, it has failed.
But this week I did it again.
I told a whole group what was
wrong with them.

And guess what?
I got bitten. – Shar McBee
