Mr. Jepson came and talked to our class last week. He said "A great leader is someone who can create relationship." I agree very much with this statement. If you don't have a good relationship with the people you are working with, then you are going to get nowhere with them. You have to build a relationship with everyone so you can work towards that common goal.
Trust creates a good relationship. If you don't have trust in your relationship, then you can't be held accountable or be accountable for anything. Building this trust takes a long time, and it can be lost in five seconds. You can take a lifetime to build a trusting relationship with someone, but it takes you one time to say something you regret that can ruin that relationship. As a leader, you need to try and build these trusting relationships with everyone. You also need to keep them, once you loose it, it is hard to get it back.
He also talked about the 90-10 principle. 90% of your day to day events is what you make of it. The other 10% you can't control. You have to make the best of what you have. Keep a positive attitude throughout your whole day, even if it is a bad day. If you choose to make it a good situation, it will become a good situation. So make that 90% the best part of your day!
