Dwight D. Eisenhower on Leadership
In my work with hundreds of effective leaders, there is one characteristic that stands above all…
They treat all people, regardless of their position or social status, with dignity and respect.
One of our country’s legendary leaders made the following statement about leadership…
“You do not lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership!”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
And remember, it’s all about the relationship.
