LEADERSHIP
By Hal Krause Leadership knows no age, Nor is it limited by rank. It is conspicuous... In its presence or absence... From nations capitols to neighborhood playgrounds. Leadership can be an hour of triumph... Or a moment of prayer.
by: Dr. Maybelle B. Tee - Education Supervisor I
It is saying yes to the right kind of responsibility... And saying no to the wrong kind of temptation. Leadership does not gloat in victory Nor can it ever be vanquished. For it is an elegance of conduct Which transcends either.

Five Ws and one H ( who , what, where, when, why and by: Dr. Maybelle B. Tee - Education Supervisor I how?
Express Feelings
Good feedback tells someone how you feel about what he or she did. It is okay to say that you are mad, frustrated, confused, or upset- so long as you direct your feelings toward the behavior, not the person
Request Alternatives
Good feedback is proactive in asking for an alternative behavior, rather than just dumping the negative. State what you would like the person to do instead.
by: Dr. Maybelle B. Tee - Education Supervisor I
Time it well
Choose the time and situation for the feedback strategically. Try to do it as soon as possible after the incident. However, dont do it in the heat of the moment unless you can maintain your composure. Also, avoid a public discussion unless it is an issue for the entire team to address.
Enable Others

Team work
No one can operate successfully in isolation. Dare to have the credit and glory with a winning team. History is inveterate in its teaching. Ultimately only teams will succeed. Zig Ziglar once said, If tomorrow you got a call from your boss and he said to you Hey, I have good news for you. I have free tickets for you and your wife to Acapulco. You leave two weeks from today and we will provide full airfare, all your meals, rooms in the best hotel, and a five hundred dollar bonus to make sure you have plenty of tipping money. What would you do?

You wouldnt say, Sorry, sir. I wasnt planning on it you know what youd do. Youd get organized in hurry and rearrange your schedule. Youd do everything in your power to make it possible for you to go. YOU WOULD BEGIN TO DELEGATE some jobs that yesterday you thought you and you alone, could do. You would start GIVING SOMEBODY ELSE, SOME OF THE POWER AND GLORY that you possess today. I am a success in my life, my marriage, my family and in my career simply because I am surrounded by better, wiser people than myself.

Do to others whatever you would that others do you; there you have the Law and the prophets ( Mt. 7:12). This is the Golden Rule. It is designed to prevent us from doing harm to othersthings which others obviously would not like. Treat the others as they want to be treated. This is the Platinum Rule. We can not assume that others want to be treated exactly the way we do. It gives others permission to be different from us and remind us to honor that differences.

For my Relationships with others
You and I are in a relationship, which I value and want to keep. Yet each of us is a separate person with unique needs and the right to meet those needs. When you are having problems meeting your needs. I will try to listen with genuine acceptance in order to facilitate your finding your own solutions instead of depending on mine. I also try to respect your right to choose your own beliefs and develop your own values, different through they may be from mine.
by: Dr. Maybelle B. Tee - Education Supervisor I
However, when your behavior interferes with what I must do to get my own needs met, I will tell you openly and honestly how your behavior affects me, trusting that you respect my needs and feelings enough to try to change the behavior that is unacceptable to me. Also, whenever of mine is a some behavior of mine is unacceptable to you, I hope you will tell me openly and honestly so I can try to change my behavior. At those times when we find that either of us cannot change to meet the others needs, let us acknowledge that we have a conflict without either of us resorting to the use of power or authority to win at the expense of the others losing. by: Dr. Maybelle B. Tee - Education Supervisor I
I respect your needs, but I also must respect my own. So let us always search for a solution that will be acceptable to both of us. Your needs will be met, and so will mine- neither will lose, both will win. In this way, you can continue to develop as a person through satisfying your needs, and so can I. Thus, ours can be a healthy relationship in which both of us can strive to become what we are capable of doing. And we can continue to relate to each other with mutual respect, love, and peace.

Closing Prayer
Make me a LEADER, O Lord, who will be strong enough to face myself when I am afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat and humble and gentle in victory. Lead us, i pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenges. Here let us learn to stand up the storm; here let us learn compassion for those who fail Build me as a LEADER whose heart will be clear; whose goal will be high... One who will reach for the future, yet never forget the past. Give us humility, so that we may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom and the meekness of true strength. This we ask in the Almighty name of God, the Father... AMEN
