One reason why I respect Dr. Larson

People sometimes add little sayings or bits of wisdom at the bottom of their email messages. I have a few different ones on mine, mostly for professional words of wisdom.

At the bottom of Dr. Larson's email, he has a quote that just fits perfectly how a great leader should think:

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. --Harry S. Truman


As a leader and agent of change in my professional life, I have always tried to live my life by this credo. I have tremendous respect for anyone else who does as well.

It is statements like this, and living ones life in accordance with them, that separate those who lead from those who manage.
