keeps moving no-matter what lies in its path
Whether sand, rock, or even a mountain;
water will always find its way
It may be forceful or subtle, yet,
always present and relentless
Never giving in and never giving up
Wearing away any resistance that it encounters
It will take any course necessary in order to accomplish its goal
Whatever that goal might be
Yes, leadership is like a river, always moving forward and always in a positive direction, bringing with it all that it surrounds
Like a team with a captain steering the ship through treacherous waters setting the right example with his or her positive actions, choices and behavior
Never giving up, never giving in, and with true belief in their teammates and the direction they wish to travel
And like a river, always moving that team forward, and in a positive direction,
toward its ultimate potential and toward their ultimate goal
Whatever that goal might be
