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.

Disappointed? Don't 'Cut Off Heads'

When you offer something or open yourself
to people and they aren’t responsive,
don’t be too quick to judge.
Don’t become hard.
Don’t become angry.

Six months ago I made a generous offer
to someone who never responded.
I felt hurt.
I doubted my decision.
Today, I learned she has cancer.

There’s an inner truth to every situation.
Don’t cut off heads before you discover it.
– Shar McBee
