“Anyone who influences others is a leader.”
~ Chuck Swindoll
ASSOCIATION
“If we are known by the company we keep, then the company we keep ought to inspire and invigorate us to greatness. Leadership is not just learned by scanning words, sentences, or paragraphs in a textbook.
It is grasped by the mind and spirit of those who search for it in the lives of others. Aspiring leaders recognize the importance of keeping company with those who have chosen to excel. They listen to them, watch them. They seek them out. Their words and actions fall on their spirits like drops of moisture on a thirsty sponge.
Aspiring leaders acknowledge that the achievement of others offers a key to unlocking their own excellence. They associate with great men and women not as an act of worship but rather to learn the cause of their success. Every leader should be a mentor. But more important, every leader should have a mentor.
Call it success by association – the people who strive for personal excellence will find a way to rub shoulders with the great people around them.”
(Written by Stan Toler, Minute Motivators for Leaders, p. 4-5)
