Characteristics of Great Leaders . . .

1. JUST DO IT.

• A leader's most powerful ally is his or her own example.  
• Leaders don't just talk about doing something; they do it.

Action . . . The Measuring Stick

I came across an interesting quotation by Francis Bacon.  In thinking about the message here, I thought of myself, as well as those that currently lead our state and our country.  It is advise that acts as a good measuring stick.

"He that gives good advice builds with one hand; 

he that gives good counsel and example builds with both; 

but he that gives good admonition and bad example 

builds with one hand and pulls down with the other."

Either way, anyone named after one of the most delicious breakfast foods on the planet, should be paid some attention.

Thanks, Francis!
