No Progress?

	Don't despair. Remember: a stream travels a long way underground before it comes out in the open. Accept your situation because it's temporary. Nature works gradually. You can't see progress. But one day the fruit ripens. -- Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

Feeling Uncertain?

	In good conscience, people can't follow a leader who is uncertain. It's demeaning to them and possibly dangerous. If you are feeling uncertain, before you appear indecisive and unclear, become certain about this: You are sincerely seeking a solution. In this way, people can follow you without betraying themselves. – Shar McBee PS - Thank you to those who emailed your favorite leadership books.

Ambitious?

	Know where you are going. Know what you want. Beware of being ambitious. Ambition implies impatience. It means you are trying to force change. When people perceive that you are ambitious, they'll resist you. The next time you are feeling ambitious, be gentle. Be gentle on yourself and others. A blade of grass can crack through concrete. To reach your goals, you don't have to be ambitious You can be gentle as long as you know where you are going. - Shar McBee P.S. Will you help create a list of great leadership books?

Modest & Kind

	"All things come to the person who is modest and kind in a high position." This is my favorite leadership quote from Confucius. To be modest: Don't conceal the merits of those below you. Don't abuse the confidence of those above you. To be kind: You may have to be strong. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author.
