44 Challenge What separates effective teams and “FIVE STAR” teams—the best of the best? From: Five Star Teamwork by Steve Ventura & Michelle Correia Templin

55 Leadership: is the ACT of inspiring others to perform at a higher level in accomplishing a worthy goal. Leadership is an ACTION. It inspires and achieves better results than giving orders. It involves others. It is performance driven. And it is often measured. It elevates. It is an outcome, an accomplishment. It is goal driven, and the goal is worth achieving. Leadership is NOT just about getting a job done without regard for others, maintaining the status quo, staying out of trouble or avoiding risk…to me it is about SERVICE…the one who serves best, will lead best! To lead the BEST I believe a leader must Believe, Encourage, Share, and Trust…through creating a culture of TEAMWORK! Leadership Style
