The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers... Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.

What makes a good follower The single most important characteristic may well be a willingness to tell the truth. In a world of growing complexity leaders are increasingly dependent on their subordinates for good information, whether the leaders want to hear it or not. Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination.

Decisive
Be a positive leader,
For positive leaders lead by example;
And my love to you is greater than you can imagine,
Because my positive attitude ia always seen beside you!
Decisive,
Diligent,
Example;
But without followers there are no leaders.

Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers - not their minds.
Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.

Love is sought for identity.
To strive for love of mother,
of father, of teacher, of peers,
of elders, springs from
identity crisis.
To strive for love of the beloved
is out the deepest identity crisis.
Seers like women followers.

Ego-centric Growth
Writers outnumber readers.
Speakers exceed listeners.
Leaders run after followers.
Thanks to ego-centric growth.

Look At Their Faces
(6/13/12)
Is this the way our children s future is going to be
Living in filth and poverty, with just the clothes
On their backs - bought from a dollar rack.
With sneakers torn and tattered
And their feet bruised and battered.
The stench on them from not taking a shower
And the smell getting worse by the hour.
With their hands out - 'asking for change '
But the change that they should get is the
'way they live' it is something that we have to give.
It is time that everyone gets off their high horse
And in the ring their support they should toss.
If you listen you can hear the children say:
Politicians, religious leaders-
'IT IS TIME YOU SHOULD FEED US'.
We did not create this life style we're in
Living this way is a down right sin.
If we're seeing it here in this great nation
We have to come up with a plan for their salvation.
No one should have to be told
That this is a worldwide epidemic out of control.
Who would you blame if one of your family members
Was going thru the same.
The answer starts with the first step
And the followers will do the rest.

A lot of these people, these program directors, just like anybody else in the world, even though they're supposed to be leaders in the world, they're followers. They follow what they think someone else is doing, instead of trying to blaze a trail.

True Story
As I walked home the other night,
I looked up to the sky.
It hit me like a light in the head
He showed me of the world
In a different way.
Oh, Ill never be the same.
[this is space-sector calling] are you talking to me?
[we have a message for you] I could not help but listen.
[children of earth must all become] one family.
[your leaders will not listen] but what can I do?
[people will listen to you] Im just a poor fool,
[reach out and help us and] make them understand.
A place for everyone,
In their sacred plan.
Living in all lands.
Ill never turn away,
Now my life has changed,
Ill never be the same.
[this is space-sector calling] are you talking to me?
[we have a message for you] I could not help but listen.
[children of earth must all become] one family.
[your leaders will not listen] but what can I do?
[people will listen to you] Im just a poor fool,
[reach out and help us and] make them understand.
[this is space-sector calling] are you talking to me?
[we have a message for you] oh what can it be?
[children of earth must all become] one family.
[your leaders will not listen] but what can I do?
[people will listen to you] Im just a poor fool,
[reach out and help us and] make them understand.

Come Ye, All the Children
Come Ye, All the Children
Listen to the thunder;
Rejoice in the wonder.
Come Ye, All the children
Feel the fire burning;
Strive in the learning.
Come Ye, All the Children
Drop a penny in the fountain;
Climb up that mountain.
Come Ye, All the Children
Follow the flowing stream
To a river of dreams.

While few religious leaders and scholars would doubt the commonalities that exist among the various religious groups, the followers of these religions unfortunately struggle in their effort to peacefully coexist.

Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet - thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust.

Killing And Leading
Killing, doing goodness and making commands,
The leaders of our race are against the enemy;
Forming friendships is not a desperate measure
But the forces of nature are with us.
Killing will keep us away from friendship
But did not the plain commitments arise?
Leading us for the future our leaders will push,
Our children avoid calamity for everyone.
