This famous quote has inspired many people including educators. Most
people who are successful in life, have had an encountered with a leader who
was seasoned with confidence. Whereas, leaders encourage them by surfacing the
positive things already within.
“Confidence in oneself is the cornerstone of successful
leadership. Only those who believe in themselves have enough optimism to see
the best in those around them. Self-confidence breeds confidence in others.”
Similarly, if you smile at others most likely they will smile in return. This
quote was used in the Leadership Wired Blog titled “A Leader’s Greatest Things”
by the John Maxwell Company (http://www.johnmaxwell.com/blog/a-leaders-greatest-things)
“The skill of self-confidence is the ability to believe in
yourself to accomplish any task,” Dr. Ivan Joseph quoted in his video. This
video was chosen because I believe leadership has to be developed over a period
of time. Also I believe a leader must believe in him or herself first in order
to bring out positive changes in others. Furthermore, this confidence is
channeled by growth in your everyday practice as an educator.

John C. Maxwell wrote a
book called “Be a People Person:
Effective Leadership through Effective Relationships.” I liked this book because
it explains why an effective leader must establish and maintain good
relationships with others. However, a leader has to develop own confidence and exemplify
it among followers. A leader with confidence helps build confidence in others.
I enjoyed previously,
Colette Carrabba’s posting on the video, “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.”
This video also engaged in the growth of a leader and his confidence as
motivation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtVaZ6rwVM8
Personally,
this quote was chosen mainly because I cherished the influence in my life from
leaders. Leaders who saw something special in me. Leaders like my mother,
aunts, teachers, and religious mentors. I was influenced greatly by these
leaders because they had a special confidence exemplified by believing in
themselves and believing in me when I did not.
Leadership Motto: You be the first to model the desired behavior.
Favorite Scripture: “Cast not away therefore
your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.” Hebrews 10:3

ReplyDeleteRoz, I have changed my attitude about leaders also.
DeleteTyus, Thanks for sharing! I agree with John Maxwell when he said "Leaders add value to others by serving them. A great leader develops trust. People will only follow you if the trust you." During my first year in the principal ship, I learned very quickly that teachers will only follow you if you are competent and you do what you say you are going to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, leaders should motivate others as they lead with confidence and integrity.
DeleteDo you know about the immagrants. Some immagrants lied about there Name and some lied about there age. That's the End
