Dear bunker-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. I hope you find these as moving and inspirational as I did:

*** DEFINITIONS OF A LEADER ***

"The supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. A
leader?s teachings and actions must square completely with one
another."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
FOLLOW HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY
http://home.att.net/~rswatts/pent18.htm

. . . . . . . . . .

The following quotes are unattributed but meaningful nonetheless:

"The leader always sets a trail for others to follow."

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

"True leaders are not those who strive to be first but those who are
first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team.
True leaders are first to see the need, envision the plan, and empower
the team for action. By the strength of the leader's commitment, the
power of the team is unleashed."

"Leadership is about capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of your
people with clearly defined goals that cut through the fog like a
beacon in the night."

"A Leader stands out by the nature of their commitment, and the
integrity of their character."

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make
tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of
his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are
much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time."

?Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about
opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration?of oneself and of
others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes.
Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that
comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an
attitude, not a routine.?
-- Lance Secretan, Industry Week, 10/12/98

. . . . . . . . . .

?Leadership? is one side of a coin called ?Core Values? and that the
flip side of that coin is stamped ?Following?.  I learned that
leadership (or following) is all about values or more succinctly about
the standards of each value being transmitted to and received by each
employee.  I learned that every person knows that the good core
values, call them shared values if you like, are those such as
honesty, industriousness, fairness and forthrightness.?

produce more leaders, not more followers."
