Good Morning 4-H Volunteers. I don't take time often enough to thank you all for the time, effort and hard work you give to our 4-H program and the youth in your care. You are the ones out there making a difference in the life's of our youth today. Because of your influence our youth are gaining the skills to be successful adults. Here is a thought for the day on Leadership
"The most effective form of leadership is born out of the sincere desire and proven ability to make a positive contribution. Those who lead best are those for whom leadership itself is not the primary aim.
True leadership is not embodied in a position or title. True leadership arises from an exemplary life of making positive, valuable contributions that inspire others to do the same.
The most successful leaders have no interest in telling others what to do. Successful leaders are those who promote and support conditions in which each person can act with effectiveness and experience fulfillment in his or her own special way.
Great leaders are not those who claim to have all the answers or to solve every problem. Great leaders lead by example rather than by proclamation.
To be a leader, be a shining example. Do precisely that which you would lead others to do, and do it spectacularly.
Leadership at its best enlarges upon the sincere and productive efforts of the leader. Make those efforts the best they can be, and they'll result in true, effective leadership."
-- Ralph Marston
