True Leaders Lead From the Front
“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.”

As I see it . . . . . . .
True leaders lead from the front
A true leader leads . . . . and commands respect not by their title by have but through their actions as Admiral Halsey did in World War II
A true leader creates confidence not by their words . . . . or what they’re going to do . . . . They create it by what they do . . . . and when they do it. A good example is President John F. Kennedy taking control . . . . and handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
A true leader makes the tough decisions when they have to be made . . . . and does what’s right . . . . not what is politically correct. As Ronald Ragan did when he confronted the air controller walkout issue . . . . and made the tough decisions.
A true leader listens . . . . as Steve Jobs did in bringing new products to the market.
One of the strong leaders we have had in the country in the last 50 years is Lee Iacocca he took control of Chrysler when they were on the brink of bankruptcy. He took control on the company conditions . . . . listened . . . . took advice. He made the tough decisions . . . . and took action. Chrysler borrowed money under very adverse conditions to stay afloat.
Chrysler emerged as a stronger company . . . . and all the money that was borrowed was paid back ahead of schedule.
Lee Iacocca took command of Chrysler . . . . and earned respect through his actions.
A true leaders lead from the front . . . . and takes command . . . . and leads by example.
