Leadership is the ability to establish a culture where people can make contributions, use their unique talents, and feel that they

have been part of something bigger than they are.

Leadership is not:• Playing a role.

• Acting a part.

• Wearing a uniform.

• Holding an office.

Leadership is:• Caring about people and an

organization.• Putting others’ needs ahead

of your own.• Giving more of yourself

than just enough to get by.• Working hard on the “dirty

work.”
