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.

How to Last as a Leader

On a new management job, I was young
and receiving a lot of attention.
An older woman did everything she
could to tear me down, including pulling
me into a room where she and two others
yelled at me.

When you are new on a job, try not to
attract attention too soon. Stay out of
the limelight. Focus on doing your work
in a way that will bear fruit for the future.

Later this woman was friendly and
happy for my successes. But when I was
new, the attention aroused her enmity.
