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.

Why give away Your Power?

When you are with people who have more authority,
do you give away your power?

Yesterday I met with a top executive at one of
the world’s largest corporations.
On a subtle level I felt myself trying to impress him.

To relate to people with power is a balancing act.
You must give them respect, and at the same time
retain your independence and dignity.
Keep your composure.
Focus on the needs of the moment.
And never give away your power. – Shar McBee
