Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 8/7/2008

Every person has the potential to be a leader. There are leaders such as a President who takes a very commanding leadership role. There are others who can handle details and organize to make things happen. There are quiet leaders who make a big difference everyday by supporting others. Leadership opportunities are everywhere. Everyone can make a difference in their life and the lives of others.

The power is already within us to change Northglenn. However, it will take a Strong-Desire, a few basic tools and skills, and EXCITEMENT to succeed. It is time for men to step forward in Leadership roles so that we can make a difference for Northglenn families.

If something really matters to us, we have the power to change it. We can make a difference through our individual efforts or we can lead in an organization. Leadership emerges from what we do in our daily lives, at home, at work, and at play.

The Power of One is always the beginning of change. Each of us has individuals can create ideas. One can set forth to make that change by himself, or he can harness the resources of an organization. When the idea or vision is "clear", hard work, discipline, and perseverance can make it happen.

A leader must first understand the issue, then gather the facts to support a change. There is no better way to build support and fight opposition than by the use of facts. The power of our participation supports the forces of change already in motion.

As a leader, it will be my role to move myself and others from resistance to support of change. Real change must be voluntary. We cannot force people to change. If we want to lead change, we must involve everybody in the process. When people get involved, they become committed. We feel we OWN the change instead of being forced to DO. Involvement moves people to be empowered, energized, and motivated. The real role of a leader it to INSPIRE!

I will:
* Respect efforts.
* Listen carefully.
* Participation is necessary.
* Initiative get the ball rolling.
* Creativity is good.
* Think before answer.
* Be patient.
* Use my sense of humor!

We need support for what we want to do to change. We must give leadership to someone with Vision, Focus, and Commitment. Success will come from a strong vision, lots of hard work, and good teamwork.

Public relations should be directed to several audience: local government officials, the business community, other civic leaders and organizations, along with people directly affected by service projects. Some are reluctant to publicize their accomplishments, or have become discouraged when their efforts to reach the media are ignored. The practice of public relations varies throughout the world. But regardless of cultural differences from one country to another, people around the globe have audiences with which they need to communicate. We will develop a message and find the appropriate way to deliver that message. We must reach out!
