On This Day in Leadership History, November 18th
On this day in leadership history in 1985, Joe Theismann (Washington Redskins) broke his leg after being hit by Lawrence Taylor (New York Giants). The injury ended Theismann’s 12-year National Football League (NFL) career. After his retirement from football, he went on to numerous jobs and business ventures over the last 30 years.
What’s the leadership lesson? When a setback comes or season of life abruptly ends, bounce, back, be resilient, and move forward with courage.

Colin Powell Leadership Point
Do you agree with the Colin Powell leadership point? Let us know what you think below – thank you
The principle is “Command is lonely”.
“Harry Truman was right. Whether you’re a CEO or the temporary head of a project team, the buck stops here. You can encourage participative management and bottom-up employee involvement, but ultimately the essence of leadership is the willingness to make the tough, unambiguous choices that will have an impact on the fate of the organization. I’ve seen too many non-leaders flinch from this responsibility. Even as you create an informal, open, collaborative corporate culture, prepare to be lonely.”

FAQ – most important leadership attribute
Leading with Honor FAQ – “What is the most important attribute of a good leader?”
Lee’s Answer – “I would pick the healthiest person I can find. By healthy I mean a real, authentic self-confidence. Because healthy people are able to listen to other people’s ideas and are not threatened. If they’re healthy about themselves, they can lead other people.
If you spend all your time worrying about your competition, rather than just doing your job really well, that’s not healthy. Fearful people, or people who really deep down feel inferior or insufficient, sooner or later, they’re going to get exposed. They’re going to show bad judgment. And leaders need good judgment.
Know yourself, know who you are and know what you’re committed to, and don’t be afraid to live up to what you’re committed to. If you do that, you’re probably going to do all right.”
