3. HVC Leadership Intensive 2008 • Leadership is the influence we exert on people as they watch our manner of life. It is a natural process with important implications and a great responsibility. • “I think people want to be magnificent. It’s the job of the leader to bring out the magnificence in people and to create an environment where they feel safe and supported and ready to do the best job possible in accomplishing key goals. This responsibility is a sacred trust that should not be violated. The opportunity to guide others to their fullest potential is an honor and one that should not be taken lightly. As leaders, we hold the lives of others in our hands. These hands need to be gentle and caring and always available for support.” -- Ken Blanchard
