If It Is True

If It Is True

If it is true,

(and I believe that it is)

that we can all be leaders,

then our organizations are healthiest

when we all choose to lead.

If it is true,

(and I believe that it is)

that leaders are learners,

then our leadership is strongest

when we are willing to be taught.

If it is true,

(and I believe that it is)

that we are all creative,

then our organizations are most original

when we embrace new ideas.

If it is true

(and I believe that it is)

that we lead from who we are,

then our leadership is truest

when we are true to ourselves.

If it is true

(and I believe that it is)

that we want strong leaders and dynamic organizations,

then we must choose to lead,

we must be willing to learn,

we must embrace new ideas, and

we must be true to ourselves.
