Joy of Leadership

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.

How to Deal with Bad Luck

If you allow your mind to dwell on
a bad situation, you prolong it.

In sports, if you make a mistake
and then dwell on it with your inner
dialogue, you will repeat it.
This dialogue stops you and you
don’t move on.

To drop it, be receptive to what you want.
For instance, instead of saying,
“I don’t have money,” ask yourself,
“What is my million dollar idea?” – Shar McBee

When People Don't Take Your Advice

When you feel oppressed or restrained;
when people don’t believe you,
or listen to your advice,
how do you respond?

If you become gloomy,
you’ll prolong the situation.
If you let your spirit be broken,
you won’t succeed.

But if you can remain in good spirits,
your upbeat cheerfulness will bring
you success in the long run.

This is not easy, which is why
only successful people can do it. – Shar McBee

How to make the good times last - Two Tips

Tomorrow I am speaking at the national
conference for all the Ronald McDonald Houses.
The topic is “Increase your volunteers 500%.”

One way to do that can be learned from the Olympians.
If you assume that bad times will last,
you become hopeless.
If you assume that good times will last,
you become careless.

Like the Olympians, to do your best work
(the kind that is remembered and the results last)
you must
ONE – Stop worrying about the future.
TWO – Stop berating yourself for the past.

If you can “be here now” you will be able
to do your best in the moment. – Shar McBee
