failed…you are vastly better off than if you

tried to do nothing and succeeded.

Engaging Elected Officials in Building Vibrant Communities

SHARI DECTER-HIRSTMayor of Brandon

the only definition of a leader is one

who has followers - without followers

there can be no leaders

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of

your time managing yourself – your ethics,

character, principles, purpose, motivation

and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing

those with authority over you, and 15%

managing your peers.

Make a careful list of all things done to you that

you did not like. Don’t do them to others, ever.

Make another list of things done for you that

you loved. Do them for others always.
