I am fortunate to present during leadership training seminars and when it is time for me to call on the group to share and idea, answer, or comment I am amazed but how many that just sit there looking at everyone else or not looking at anyone.
Re-read my first sentence. I am training "leaders" and when I think of a leader I think of someone willing to step out when called upon to help. If I am training 50 people I believe 50 hands should shoot up the moment they are called to action.
I am working with an Air Force Colonel on a base where handicap parking is abused by non-handicapped drivers. His is trying to crack down on this issue but here is what a "real" leader does:
Instead of parking in the #1 spot on the base (earned after years of service mind you), he leaves it open for handicapped drivers unable to find a spot designated for them. Where does he park?
