Leadership by TJ Salum

“Leadership is the oldest subject. Hitler had many followers, yet he was a disaster as a human. What I’ve learned is that a good leader is not someone that leads by fears or by oppression yet someone that leads by grace which I believe is how Jesus lead. I see this everytime in my life. So instead of being stubborn, most of the great leaders have lead by example and grace. There are great leaders that are executives, but they lack in influence because they can’t associate with others. Jack Welch says if you want to influence at heart you have to influence by connecting with people and not by dominating people.” - TJSalum #ASONE
