Career Success For Accountants

The Leadership Poem

Today I had a thought about capturing the essence of leadership in a short poem.

Here is what I came up with. I wonder what else you would add to it?

Set direction
But involve others
Focus on results
But don’t forget about people
Take the decisions
Even when it’s tough
Acknowledge that success
Is a team effort
Take responsibility
And don’t blame others
Accept there will be setbacks
But keep moving forward
Build a strong network
Because it can be a lonely existence
Give your best
And help others do their best
Remember there is no finish line
Just a new set of challenges ahead
