The affect of character in leadership.

People are more willing to follow others that they can trust. We can only decide to trust someone when we see there character, and if it reflects are personal beliefs of what character or morals should be. That said it takes consistency to build character. Stand up for what you believe in and don't waver.

Quote:

"A lapse in character= a loss in leadership." -Hansley Thomas-

Example:

I was at a seminar in which one of speakers did a great job with his session and I had a lot to gain from his teaching. After the seminar we had a networking time in which the speakers were there. As I approached this speaker to thank him for his insight he kind of blew me off and then I witnessed him do this to several other attendees. And though his ideas were good, I have a hard time wanting to practice the things he taught.

I am curious if there are other stories you may have similar to this? I can think of some more, and will maybe share them at another time.

Great marketing campaign by Starburst

This is a great commercial. Probably my favorite in a series of related Starburst commercials.

I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't take the opportunity just to say.

The first worthwhile quote

"A great leader takes more than his share of the blame, and less then his share of the credit."

Stay tuned for many more quotes, because they are where we can uncover inspiration. Also I will be posting clips from around the internet that I think are really genius and cool ad and/or marketing campaigns. If there is something you find particularly exciting and need a forum to share it, or a fun or great ad. Please feel free to post it. I would be glad to look at it.

I love teamwork and being open to creativity. It reminds me of yet another quote.

"Where there is a will there's a way, where there is a team there is more than one way."

The journey begins

Welcome to the maiden voyage of the LEADERS post.

At "the LEADERS post" you will find quotes, tips, and influential material that is a matter of my opinion. The material may not always be geared towards leadership related topics. Sometimes it will trail off to sports, politics, marketing, and other subject matter I find fascinating. But the basis is for me to learn from others and for me to perhaps inspire others. The main key is that we can walk away by learning something we may not have already known. Please enjoy.
