Leaders Are Those Who Empower Others

Leaders Are Those Who Empower Others

“Leaders will be those who empower others. Empowering

leadership means bringing  out the energy and

capabilities people have and getting them

to work together in a way they

wouldn’t do otherwise.”

Bill Gates, Co-Founder of Microsoft

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Leaders are those who empower others

Empowerment of others creates a sense of ownership in what the person is doing. It will ignite their personal energy . . . . and pride to excel. Empowerment will elevate the level of a person, in their thinking, stretch their capabilities . . . . and will bring out the best in the person.

When you empower another person your showing that we have confidence in them . . . . and in their ability to successfully get the job done. Empowerment is also showing that you trust the person . . . . and their judgment to make the right choices.

People who are empowered will find a way to get the job done . . . . and will work together to accomplish their objectives. They also will experience personal growth . . . . and you will be rewarded with a dedicated and productive person working with you.

An empowered person will work longer . . . . and harder to achieve success through a sense a personal responsibility.

Leaders are those who empower others . . . . You’ll find that the empowered person become more productive . . . . and will accomplish far more as a results of being trusted and empowered.

As Rain Drops Erodes Solid Rock

As Rain Drops Erodes Solid Rock

“The drops of rain make a hole in the stone

not by violence, but by oft falling.”

Lucretius 99 BC – 55 AD, Roman Poet and Philosopher    

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

As rain drops erodes solid rock

Drops of rain are like the moments in our life.

As your moments in your life pass; you don’t think much about them or how we use them. Why? Because there will be many more of them for you to experience.

As a drop of rain falls . . . . they become lost with along with the many other drops of rain that fall with it.

When your moments in your life are combined in positive undertakings the moments accumulate . . . . and returns value to you. The more productive you make your moments the higher rate of return those moments return to you.

When a drop of rain falls . . . . and is combined with many more they can erode the face of a mountain . . . .  cut a hole in stone. Rain drops can accumulate to create a stream that becomes the head of a mighty river.

There is power . . . . in a rain drop  and in a moment in your life.

In your moments you build the skills to change your life . . . .  to become a leader in your profession . . . . and to accomplish great things.

Success is not produced in a vacuum . . . .  it created in the moments of your life that you direct towards your goals, in productive activities . . . . and in planning your future.    

The moments in your life are important . . . . Anyone of them can be the moment that you change the direction of your future and that creates greater levels of success . . . . and where you find personal happiness.

The moments in your life are like drops of rain they may come down hard . . . . or they may fall gently. But when everything is said and done the moments in your lives make you who we are.

May the drops of rain fall gently into your life and may your moments become productive and supply the fuel for a positive success journey.

As rain drops will erode solid rock . . . . they will erode your obstacles.

Rudyard Kipling, author

We have to cultivate the soil of our thoughts and plant the seeds of greatness in our mind to grow the crops of your potential. Our garden has to be maintained and tended to before we’ll able to harvest the fruits of our labor.

We have to remove the weeps of our negative influences in the garden of our thinking and maintain our garden to yield the benefits of a crop.
