The job of a leader is to set a plan with a purpose in motion then continuously thank the people who are helping to make the plan work– that’s what I keep realizing.

This morning I was reminded that the job of a leader is to set a plan with a purpose in motion then continuously thank the people who are helping to make the plan work which is a good thing to be reminded of because often we think a fancy title and a large salary automatically makes one a leader (it doesn’t –leadership is propose-driven action not a title or money).

This morning I realized my helpful nature makes it possible for people to use me -some people find out what I do (which they usually do from my very proud father even though I’ve asked him to please not tell anyone ) and it’s like they start seeing Dollar signs and a short while later you best believe some of them will show up at the door with an elaborate charity idea that they want me to get funding for – I’ve learned to politely say no and although I often feel bad about it I do so because I know that 50% of people get into the non-profit sector either to boost their egos or worse to make a profit I refuse to be a party to that.
