Welcome to the June 2007 Edition of

“Leadership:  It’s All about TRUST.”

 An On-line Newsletter from Ellen Castro that Addresses

Leadership and Life in Today’s 24/7 World

 

 

Today’s leaders realize it takes courage to be a leader, it always has.  They accept there are no shortcuts to credibility and to leadership.

 

Leaders understand it takes courage...

 

• To know themselves and take self-responsibility for the consequences of their communications and actions

 

• To listen with their eyes, ears and heart to comprehend what is truly being expressed

 

• To accept and receive feedback and the possible underlying truths and patterns regardless of the source

 

• To deliver important messages with respect, kindness and in person regardless of the distance

 

• To apologize sincerely and genuinely and to take necessary constructive action

 

• To do what is right consistently

 

• To self-correct and change for the better.

 

Courage inspires!

 

Courage builds credibility and confidence!

 

Courage changes lives for the good and great!

 

Today’s leaders are courageous in every single moment, in every single way.

 

 

Question for Reflection

Live courageously.  Live free.

 

 

The choice is ALWAYS yours
