Effective leaders can’t see dead people – but they possess a kind of sixth sense for reading those around them. During a summer internship in college I setup a number of meetings with the executives of the company to learn more about leadership. One lesson from the CEO to this day clearly stands out in my mind.
He said that his best leadership gift was his ability to know the keys to motivating each of his executives and managers.

A college acquaintance of mine that I hadn’t heard from in a number of years emailed me about a week ago saying that he wanted to reconnect and asked for my home address so he could send a Christmas card. Glad to hear from him I promptly responded. A couple of days ago a package arrived with his return address. But rather than a Christmas card it was material promoting a multi-level marketing system. Frankly, it went straight to the recycle bin.
