Leadership Poem by O Anna Niemus

a leader persuades.. does not coerce
a leader inspires.. does not force
a leader motivates...
a leader works harder than his subordinates
a leader delegates and trusts
a leader listens
a leader's power comes through love
a leader seeks to ignite the same power in his followers
a leader is accessible
a leader has extraordinary mental and physical energy
a leader prefers circles to authoritarian pyramids
a leader is focused on goals.. sticks to priorities
a leader sees the divinity in foes.. and seeks to build coalitions, networks
rather than dividing through insults
a leader's truth and integrity are respected
