Only Real Leaders (or NFL players) Cry

Big day for ESPN yesterday and this AM…

Peyton Manning leaves the Colts and tears up at the press conference. Adrian Foster, an undrafted free agent two years ago, signs a 5 year $40mm contract with the Texans and cries as he thanks his Mom for the sacrifices she made so the family would be OK.

Grown men crying on TV? Go figure. Actually, just real people showing real emotion. Nothing wrong with that.

When is the last time you showed any emotion at work or are you too busy being “professional?” Be yourself, authenticity is what followers really admire.

"I have attended quite a few leadership seminars, and have tried to gather and relate things from each of them, but yours hit all 3 of us with material that relates and for myself commands an internal level of accountability and responsibility in what I do at our company. "
