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.

To Lead is to Serve

Joy of Leadership







A king and his son loved each other
very much but they could not get along.
So the son left home and went far away.

After awhile word came back that the
son was not doing well. The king sent
a message to the prince and said,
"Come home."

But the prince was too proud. He sent
a message back, "I cannot." Then the king
sent another message saying, "Just turn
around and come as far as you can. I will
meet you wherever you are."

This story is in my book, To Lead is to
Serve
, which I wrote in 1992. I hope it
is relevant for you today. – Shar McBee
