"Burt yelling at him doesn't work!" ~ Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy
There is a difference between good leadership, and great leadership.
"Get to know your players Burt..." ~
Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy
Get to know your players! Those are serious words of wisdom.
Being an obnoxious tyrant doesn't make you a good leader. Some folks you have to light a fire under, but there are different ways to spark a flame, and build a fire. Any leader that demands peak performance from their team must first demand (from themselves) the dedication it takes in getting to know their team and lead them as a true leader leads, in LOVE. Not all mama's pamper their babies, or spoil them into oblivion. Leigh Anne Tuohy didn't pick up after Michael Oher. Leigh Anne Tuohy didn't scream at Michael Oher in order to get results. She instilled in him a self discipline, out of tough love. If your mother was a great leader call on her skills, lead as she led, love your team, and lead them in love. You just might find another Michael Oher, and become a true leader and not a yelling Burt...
Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Hebrews 13:17
