I had to tell you off
To be free
I had to tell you off
To really find me
I had to tell you off
In your own place
I had to tell you off
To get you out of my space
I had to tell you off
To understand
That God is sufficient
over any man
I had to tell you off
To love you more
I had to tell you off
And continue to explore
My life that is sufficient
Over any man
I had to tell you off
To turn me on
to the truth and see my rites
I had to tell you off to take flight
I found this article refreshing and I agree with Ms. Biro. Show me a leader who is unemotional about their work and I am probably looking at a careless, empty shell of a leader. You simply cannot motivate others if you lack enthusiasm for the work, which provides an emotional compass towards leadership.

Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Make a list of the 5 leaders you most admire. They can be from business, social media, politics, technology, the sciences, any field. Now ask yourself why you admire them. The chances are high that your admiration is based on more than their accomplishments, impressive as those may be. I’ll bet that everyone on your list reaches you on an emotional level.
This ability to reach people in a way that transcends the intellectual and rational is the mark of a great leader. They all have it. They inspire us. It’s a simple as that. And when we’re inspired we tap into our best selves and deliver amazing work.
So, can this ability to touch and inspire people be learned? No and yes. The truth is that not everyone can lead, and there is no substitute for natural talent. Honestly, I’m more convinced of this now – I’m in reality about the world of work and employee engagement. But for those who fall somewhat short of being a natural born star (which is pretty much MANY of us), leadership skills can be acquired, honed and perfected.
Second chances are gems of rarity
Whose value is reaped by those
Who acknowledge their coming
Second chances are answers
To the desperate prayers
Third chances are hooks
In the pond
Fishing out repetitive fools

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. “ Read the rest of this entry
