His death led to significant changes in presidential security and had a lasting impact on American politics. How do you think pivotal moments like this have shaped the evolution of leadership and security in business and government? #BusinessHistory #Leadership #Security #AmericanPolitics #McKinley

Leadership often requires us to support the greater good rather than our own interests. Lindsay Chervinsky, Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library and author of Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic, reminds us how our country's early leaders put country over party. #TimelessLeadership

George Washington played a pivotal role in the American Revolutionary War and later became the first President of the United States. One of George Washington’s most notable qualities was his unwavering commitment to the principles of leadership and service.

Today we celebrate the incredible leaders who have shaped our nation's history. From George Washington's vision to Abraham Lincoln's fight for equality, each president has left their mark on the American story. Today, let's take a moment to reflect on the qualities that make a great president: Leadership: The ability to inspire and unite people towards a common goal. Integrity: The unwavering commitment to honesty and ethical conduct. Courage: The strength to make tough decisions, even unpopular ones. Vision: The foresight to see the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Empathy: The understanding and compassion for the needs of all Americans. Let's use this Presidents' Day to honor our past, engage in our present, and build a brighter future for all. 🇺🇸 #PresidentsDay #Leadership #Integrity #Courage #Vision #Empathy #USA #America #thecommons

As we celebrate today our freedom and independence, it is crucial to remember the pivotal role that leadership played in shaping our nation's destiny. The leaders of the American Revolution possessed an unwavering vision and an indomitable spirit that inspired the members of 13 disparate colonies to unite against a formidable and well-established enemy. These leaders, through their courage, resilience, and strategic acumen, galvanized ordinary citizens to take extraordinary steps toward a common goal of liberty and self-determination. On this Independence Day, let us honor the legacy of these visionary leaders by reflecting on the qualities they embodied. As we enjoy the freedoms they fought so hard to secure, may we also strive to emulate their commitment to justice, equality, and the greater good. Let us be inspired by their example to lead with integrity and purpose in our own lives, contributing to the ongoing quest for a more perfect union. #leadership #IndependenceDay

RELEVANT COMMENTS - John W. Gardner (1912-2002) wrote in his 1990 book On Leadership about the role of citizens in what kind of leaders they get: "We must all know how we can strengthen and support good leaders," he wrote, "and we must be able to see through the leaders who are exploiting us, playing on our hatred and prejudice, or taking us down dangerous paths.... If we are lazy, self-indulgent, and wanting to be deceived; if we willingly follow corrupt leaders; if we allow our heritage of freedom to decay; if we fail to be faithful monitors of the public process--then we shall get and deserve the worst." (Gardner served in government; was an officer in the military; was a director at the helm of several corporations; was a consultant to presidents; a college professor; and author).

Happy Presidents Day! Today, we honor and celebrate the leaders who have shaped the course of our nation's history with wisdom, courage, and vision. Presidents such as Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, & Kennedy to name a few. #manhattanrealestate #newyorkrealestate #manhattancoop #iloveny #compassrealestate #lawrencegroup #dreamhome  #seniorlivingsolutions #seniors #NYCseniorlivingsolutions #presidentsday

Failed leadership comes from a flawed VISION. I love the below quote, because *effective leadership, according to the Scripture, is Nasiy meaning ‘one who lifts the burden and guides others to places of water/rest’. Does this describe your leadership style? #leadership #leadingwell #consciousleadership #lifting #leadershipstyle

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL POST 😊 Days before USA chooses its next "leader", here is a gentle reminder of what leadership looked like 16 years ago in USA. Even though they were running against each other, they were respectful till the end of the campaign(and even after the results). Last few years we have seen mudslinging, deriding, insulting, maligning as campaign strategy. A true leader anywhere (even in an organization) should learn to treat disagreements with respect. Taking it personally can only hurt the whole organization. https://lnkd.in/er-Q2-t4
