is it important for leaders
to be messengers of HOPE?

I think so…

I think we need
inspired
leaders

cynic vs skeptic
Skeptics are great
they become evangelist.
Cynics are not.
Develop a zero tolerance for cynicism in
your organisation

expertise vs incompetence
As a leader you dont need to have all the answers
It’s OK to say I don’t know how as long as you stay
focussed on what and why

positive vs optimistic
Optimism means hope
in the face of adversity
Its positive thinking
with a reality check

so how lit up are you

how inspired are you?

how exciting are you?
