John Hope Bryant Quote of the Day

"Weak managers require that they are surrounded by weak, insecure, dependent and often negative employees. Strong leaders require that they are surrounded by strong people all around them -- even those stronger and smarter than them -- as they make the leader look good! The more successful smart employees are, the more successful the leader becomes."

John Hope Bryant, author of LOVE LEADERSHIP: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World, and founder of Operation HOPE. Quote inspired by my friend Michael Dunn of Delta Elite Services today in Atlanta, on our way home.

LOVE LEADERSHIP Reader Testimonial

I opened your book randomly and came to page 55 - Fear Fails... I read few pages and it took away a huge frustration I had with a peer this week.... 

 

My peer has low self esteem and it manifests itself in arrogance. I was really upset with this guy however sent a nice note to him to ask him to meet me for coffee. 

 

I was going through a million and one scenarios in my head about how I would make my point with this guy. After reading just a few pages of Love Leadership, I am going to go into this conversation with a different attitude.
