"the communication style of leaders helps us distinguish great leaders from the wannabes.

when facing a problem the great leader says, ‘let’s find out,’ while the wannabe says ‘nobody knows.’

great leaders communicate commitment while wannabe leaders make promises.

great leaders have the capacity to listen while wannabes can’t wait for their turn to talk.

great leaders say ‘there is a better way to do this, while wannabes say ‘this is the way we have always done things around here.’

great leaders say that ‘i’m a good leader, but could do better’ while the wannabe says ‘i’m better than a lot of people.

great leaders take accountability for their mistakes while the wannabe points fingers and says ‘it’s your fault.’.”

azrael: it's not the faults and failures that interest me. it's the desire and determination to be something more, to contribute better.

airsoft: these past few weeks, i am again in a trance of thoughts and emotions--of failure. though within i am falling apart, outside there are those who believe in me. thank you for being one of them.
