[9] From the very beginning of a joint effort, right and justice must prevail, and the<br \/>\nenterprise must be conducted in an <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaeclatdotcom.blogspot.com\/2019\/12\/good-morning-h-7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organized<\/a> fashion. The aim and purpose of the joint effort<br \/>\nmust be meaningful and made clear to all participants if their loyalty and enthusiasm is<br \/>\nexpected. Without this element of genuineness, the enterprise is sure to fail. The good<br \/>\nleader, therefore, is careful to make clear to all members of the group the purpose of the<br \/>\nenterprise and as much about how it will be conducted as is reasonable.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n2. [6] He who fills the role of leadership must consider himself a part of the group he expects<br \/>\nto lead. His fortunes are tied together with theirs and theirs with his, and he accepts<br \/>\nresponsibility for all. Only someone who can accept this great responsibility is worthy to be<br \/>\na leader. Whatever honors or recognition he receives is not his alone; it is bestowed upon<br \/>\nhim as the representative of the group, and each member should look upon such honors as<br \/>\nbeing given to him also.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n3. [6] If the leader lacks a clear vision of the group&#8217;s purpose, if the members of the group<br \/>\nare left to their own devices and have no clear understanding of where they are going or<br \/>\nwhat they should be doing, misfortune is bound to result. If there is no proper leadership, if<br \/>\nevery member of the group is left to rely on his own inept or inadequate vision of the goals<br \/>\nof the enterprise, how can it succeed? Without a unifying vision and a clear definition of<br \/>\nmeans, how can a difficult objective be achieved? Uncertainty leads to wasted effort and<br \/>\ntime lost, and is a sure way for a concerted effort to become unraveled.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n4. [6] Retreat is not a disgrace when one is up against impossible odds or an unbeatable foe.<br \/>\nRather, to continue to struggle against such insurmountable difficulties suggests a stubbornness<br \/>\nor a failure to carefully calculate the chances for success, and this could only lead<br \/>\nto a great catastrophe. But a carefully planned retreat saves the enterprise, avoids catastrophe,<br \/>\nand opens the possibility for a renewed struggle at a later time when a more favorable<br \/>\noutcome may be expected. A leader who continues in the face of certain defeat just to avoid<br \/>\nthe appearance of cowardice is not strong but is weak, because he is being guided by fear<br \/>\nand a misplaced sense of honor, rather than an intelligent and responsible assessment of the<br \/>\nsituation. The important thing is the goal of the enterprise, not a mere appearance.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n5. [9] The leader of a group should be a man of thorough experience and vision. If a<br \/>\nyounger man with little experience who lacks a clear understanding of the problems that lie<br \/>\nahead is put in charge, all of the effort, which should be carefully directed, will lead to misfortune.<br \/>\nWithout a unifying vision and a central command, the element of danger which is<br \/>\ninherent in any mass of people can easily surface, allowing the enterprise to get out of hand<br \/>\nand people to indulge in destructive behavior. If uncontrolled, the struggle becomes a mob<br \/>\naction and the purpose of the struggle degenerates into whatever each member thinks it<br \/>\nmay be. This is a prescription for chaos and disintegration.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\nTop. [6] When the end has been achieved, when the struggle is finally over, all those who<br \/>\naided the effort should be rewarded generously. But it is important that even faithful helpers<br \/>\nnot be given rewards and responsibilities of which they are not worthy. Let inferior<br \/>\nhelpers be rewarded with material gifts, but not with positions in which they may do harm<br \/>\nand undermine the whole purpose of the struggle.<\/span><\/h4>\n<div><b style=\"text-align: center;\">Credit |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TGJbQhaT3FM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">youtube.com<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Oxygen, &quot;Oxygen Sans&quot;, Cantarell, &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Oxygen, &quot;Oxygen Sans&quot;, Cantarell, &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Oxygen, &quot;Oxygen Sans&quot;, Cantarell, &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mediaeclatdotcom.blogspot.com\/p\/by-james-byrd-mba-business-consultant.html\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004182; font-size: 15.84px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"60\" data-original-width=\"468\" height=\"41\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEj8wYgqJ2XWKNpEawp3ofPFX_EDxnjhGhLxlx24SdwWsy0V6WnHgYVqMM3CPvDNYEl2oL2VOJpaaF7kmLdi-0_B-m51cMpH2Qs4xasvEnQI9FRgun9OPDpFd-oMFG0uwD2xpDPBUQxLMooVXxkMwyXqOf66VSvEwUMCYeDfoVZpQnLgs3hiEXdtK7PRTg=s320\" style=\"background: transparent; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15.84px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit | youtube.com The Lines Bottom.
