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.

What’s the Greatest Threat to Your Power?

Joy of Leadership

When you are in a position of power
the greatest threat is your own ego.
The ego is always ready to jump in
and ruin everything.

The ego can make you go too far.
It can make you relax too soon.
It can bring in belligerence.

Abuse of power is immediately recognized
by others. You can’t hide it.
Everyone in leadership faces this situation.

When it happens to you, don’t fight.
Don’t make others wrong and yourself right.
Let your ego calm down, (not get louder.)
If you do, you’ll maintain your power. – Shar McBee
