From experience I have found that being a good leader
is not just about being a good organizer. It's also
about being a good disorganizer. By that I mean learning
to throw things out of balance, because that's the best
way to bring about change.

By keeping things off balance we keep people on their
toes and we keep our minds alert to expect change.
Change stimulates emotion and encourages vision.

After running several businesses I have come to the
conclusion that leadership is about emotion not just
organization and administration. I am talking about
the excitement of pursuing a dream and the excitement
of helping staff to develop. Leadership is about
caring... caring for your staff, your customers, your
product, your service and even your suppliers. It's
about developing something that is fun, exciting and
worth doing.

All the better if you push yourself to the front with
impatience and the determination to get things done.
Shake things up a bit. Be adventurous...try different
ways of doing things.

This is a highly competitive, rapidly changing world,
so you need to different to be seen. And be results
oriented even if it means tackling challenges in a
different way. After all, leadership is about emotion,
vision and determination with the stimulation of
change. I've certainly found this to be a recipe for
success.
