Another amazing Clifford family weekend with the big kids is under the belt. October is here and fall is in the air. A quick chat about good leaders and what makes a normal leader a great leader??? It’s only been one day but I already miss Tim at work. he was a super boss and a great friend. He will rock his new gig!

Today I had a great training session with my main training buddy Matt from NWTC. In his class he showed the always relevant video called “johnny the Bagger” Johnny is a boy with down syndrome and worked for a grocery store. He wanted to make a difference so he started putting inspirational messages into each bag he helped check out. What an amazing video and well worth the watch. What can we do to make a difference?

Tommy talks about leadership traits and the trait of a good leader which is delegation. The 4 traits of a good leader are 1, hire good people, break down barriers, get out of their way and delegate responsibility,

What an amazing experience to be around 150 of the most well behaved youth. Being a youth leader is such a blessing as I learn and grow from them. I see a great future when I look in their eyes. What a comfort that is.

Tommy talks about leadership training and the value of saying I’m Sorry. How different would this word be is leaders just admitted their mistakes and said I’m sorry. I used the example of the umpire Jim Joyce‘s error robbed Armando Galarraga of his perfect game and how there are no hard feelings. What an amazing story. A great lesson to be learned here.
