House of Leadership

House of Leadership

I have yet to obtain a degree, although I am working on it as we speak

But even in my position I can create philosophies

My own expression of truths on particular subject matters

And today leadership will receive my Aristotle type manners

It is more than a word, more like a house of action

Because there are different levels to ensure the owners satisfaction

But not every viewer can obtain a key, unless you’re willing to listen carefully

Pretend I am your realtor, only for a few minutes and if you like my offer we’ll be in business

Step through the golden door, and don’t be blue,

Passion the first floor I’ll walk you through

Here, you can make your ideas concrete and when the sun shines you’ll feel the heat

Not from the rays, because the central air is blowing, but from your belief of your vision growing

You’ll probably have several and need to keep them in check so the organizational floor is next

File cabinets, planners, sticky notes and more can all be utilized on this floor

If you ask me it is an excellent place to spend your time because if you aren’t careful everything can end up out of line

The quiet floor encourages you to listen because when you talk all the time something can go missing

But if you like to talk and give instruction, the delegation room may be your persuasion

It is full of tasks that need to be done and someone needs to handle them

So when you are on the floor of responsibility be sure to stop by and face them with bravery

Come on, I know you’re not tired yet

 The house of leadership does not encourage that

But if you need to take a break, be honest, because that’s an important quality

If you’re okay we’ll keep it going, the floor of communication can keep this party grooving

Just make sure you are clear about what you are saying and body language is an important part of the displaying

Speaking of displays have you noticed this pattern?

Not the wall molds, although those are impressive

I mean you following me through this lesson

We walked through the floors and you followed loyally behind

We were in sync as you kept the time

That’s an amazing attribute to receiving the key

Following comes often before you can lead

So now that you know the place, what do you think?

Was it what you expected or a bit bleak?

There were a few spots I didn’t show, but do not fret in time you’ll know
Something I love about this house is everyone’s perception of it is different

Every realtor will show you their own commitment

But since you’ve passed the test, I’ll pass on the key

Welcome to the House of Leadership

A never ending discovery
