“You are not a boss; you are the keeper of a greenhouse in which you grow the most magnificent specimens of human beings. Your success will not be judged merely by how profitable or productive your greenhouse is, but also by whether the people in it grow, thrive and blossom, or shrink, shrivel, and die under your leadership.” Billy Riggs
Bosses are a dime a dozen; leaders are priceless. Employees obey bosses only because they fear they will be rendered more miserable if they disobey than if they obey. Morale suffers, key people depart and productivity sags. But a genuine leader inspires team members to want to do their work. Employees follow true leaders out of respect and admiration. They work out of a sense of shared ownership of goals and passion for the fulfillment of a noble mission. Learn the keys to climbing the “Leadership Pyramid” through six distinct stages – from a man who’s been to the top of the pyramid twice – and begin the rewarding journey from mere boss to leader. Better still, you’ll learn while laughing through an entertaining and fun program. More than any other topic, Billy Riggs is a leadership motivational speaker. He is a natural and highly effective leader and will help you become one, too.
