Leader Work Hard

Jumpers admire jumpers who practice and are willing to work to master their skills. It for us adults. We admire the leaders who put in the hours; it demonstrates commitment. At the same time, too much hard work can be counterproductive. Thomas Edison was noted as a hard worker, but he was also a boss who knew the value of play. Often he would stop work in his Menlo Park laboratory to gather his colleagues for a spin around the model electric train he had constructed on the premises. Edison also shared the fellowship of his colleagues when he would join them for a beer or two as they worked on their technical problems. In today's parlance, he gave his people "down time" as a means of rejuvenation. Show determination... Grit is a key attribute for leaders. Leadership is never easy because at best it is a balancing act between the needs of the organization and the needs of individuals. In that balance there is bound to be conflict. Determination propels a leader forward. It can also be contagious. When followers see the boss persist in adversity, they will be inclined to do the same.
