Just a quote.

Ran across this quote by General P.X. Kelly and thought it worth sharing all by itself: "Listen carefully to the principles of leadership we will teach you here at Quantico, but always apply them within the framework of your own personality. A successful leader never languishes in the comfort of a swivel chair. The most important of all troop-leading steps, yet the one most often neglected, is the last – to supervise. And you supervise by being out with and devoting the bulk of your time to our most important product – people. You can always catch up on what you thought was essential paperwork during the evenings or on weekends, but once neglected, you will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to catch up on people."

Next Generation Leader

Andy Stanley's book, Next Generation Leader is written from a pastor's point of view, but much of what he says is quite applicable to any leader in the corporate or government world as well. Some of my favorite quotes from the book are:
"In leadership, success is succession."
" 1. The less you do, the more you accomplish
2. The less you do, the more you enable others to accomplish"
"The very activities that drained me fueled my team members."
"Only do what only you can do."
"We must never forget that the people who follow us are exactly where we have led them."
It isn't a hard read, but like Seth Godin, there is a ton of truth packed into a few pages!
