Leadership: Leadership is the force that selects your dreams and sets your goals. It is the force that propels your endeavors to success.

LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

Dont surrender leadership to outside forces

Never give up hope and keep fighting till the end Todays decisions are tomorrows realities

Dont surrender leadership to faces, farces and fences

Negative expressions and body language Never believe anyone unless you are satisfied Fences are limiting concepts influencing your goals and dreams negatively
They cause us to lower our goals, with the result that we strive for and achieve far less than our capabilities

LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

Dont surrender leadership to your fantasies, fears, fatigue, faults

Never indulge in negative fantasies

Limit the size of your goals and stifle your creativity Biggest fear is fear of failure

Sit back and relax!!

Healthy body means healthy mind

All plans have problems . Problems call for polishing, not for demolition

LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

Dont surrender leadership to facts, frenzies, fates and forecasts

Attitude is more important than facts.

Attitude be positive and in control

Fortunetellers and others program people with negative self-fulfilling prophecies are dangerous people Negative forecasts need not be right unless they are verified. One should always look at the forecast methodology to get to a decision

LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

Dont surrender leadership to foes, friends, fracturing experiences of life

Critics hardly offer any worthwhile solution Take advice from friends but do as you please A bad experience should not let you stop and lose faith in future
Believe in dreams. Never believe in hurts. Dont let your fracturing experience shape your future.

DO surrender leadership to one thingfaith

Let faith be in control of every decision you make and every action you take. You do that when you let the positive possibilities set your goals
