Three Minute Leadership

0

As shared in previous messages, I enjoy reading books, blogs and articles on leadership and business topics as part of my own professional development. They often serve as inspiration for many ideas and initiatives which are currently established here at the firm. One blog I find particularly good is Three Minute Leadership by Michael M. Reuter, speaker, author and a Professor at the Seton Hall University Stillman School of Business, and also a friend and colleague of our partner Tom Basilo who is an adjunct professor there, as well. I am going to share one of Professor Reuter’s recent posts, which I hope will provide some inspiration to you as we approach the finish line of tax season. Enjoy…

There comes times in the lives of all great leaders when they are pushed to their physical, emotional, mental or spiritual limits. Fatigued, exhausted and drained by their experiences, they still relentlessly pursue their journey. They never give up. It is their attitude and mindset to hold on to their hopes, dreams, determination and life’s purpose. Pause and reflect a moment on the words of other great leaders who shared their counsel and learning about giving up.

  • “When you’ve exhausted all possibilities, remember this: You haven’t.” Thomas Edison
  • “Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.” Albert Einstein
  • “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 30 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed; I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
  • “Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That’s called purpose… you’re alive for a reason. Don’t give up.” Melissa Joy
  • “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” Vince Lombardi
  • “I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.” Wilma Rudolph
  • “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Babe Ruth
  • “Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die.” Brian Vaszily
  • “Never give up. Go over, go under, go around, or go through. But never give up.” Tom Venuto

In those solitary moments when life’s challenges are pushing your limits, may you feel your power and purpose remembering the words of Bevan Lee: “’I am’ – two of the most powerful words; for what you put after them shapes your reality.” Be more than you ever dreamed you could be. Be also that one person in someone’s life who would say to you: “Because of you, I didn’t give up.” Be that servant leader of love, caring and hope. Life is so very good.
