I've down a lot of "wingow shopping" on your Manageing With Aloha site, as well as the JJL site, but I fail to leave much in the way of comments. Your leadership advice is much appreciated and much needed by many in the blogosphere. I thank you for that.Eric Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895071613481689793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-61669407691130881682008-08-08T15:41:00.000-05:002008-08-08T15:41:00.000-05:00Aloha Eric, good to meet you: I came over via Ange...Aloha Eric, good to meet you: I came over via Angela Maiers tweeting about your article. Very well said, and I particularly like what you have suggested about influencing and helping to motivate any laggards; that is an exceptional way for a "backseat leader" to add tremendous value to a team, continuing to lead by nature of their good example, and the ability most effective leaders have to gather up available energies.<BR/><BR/>If I may be so bold to add a pointer, self-leadership is the topic of our value of the month program on MWA Coaching, and I do hope you will visit if time permits to add some thoughts: http://snurl.com/3b7fiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-78404840124132094252008-08-08T15:09:00.000-05:002008-08-08T15:09:00.000-05:00Angela - Thank you for joining in again.

It does take courage, confidence, and vision to be able to relinquish "the wheel" and empower someone else to take over. <BR/><BR/>I think it's a hard thing to do for many leaders. Sometimes we tend to "need" to be in control, when the best thing for our team is to relinquish some of that control and build our team up as leaders.Eric Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895071613481689793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-43232403443922497002008-08-08T13:34:00.000-05:002008-08-08T13:34:00.000-05:00Eric-Brilliant post.

What a way to turn the idea of leadership upside down and inside out-great work!Angela Maiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491100836826294360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-53360783836416030352008-08-07T08:57:00.000-05:002008-08-07T08:57:00.000-05:00Bob,Sorry for the tardiness in my follow up.

It's amazing how some people will "go the extra mile" (literally in this case) to help build up and encourage others. Thanks for the great example Bob!Eric Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895071613481689793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-34071281263972980622008-08-01T11:17:00.000-05:002008-08-01T11:17:00.000-05:00Eric - Very well said.

The leaders always looped back at times to run with the back of the pack and worked there way to the front encouraging and cheering as they went. These guys probably put in twice the mileage and seem to be a good example of a backseat leader.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post,<BR/><BR/>BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
