A Leaders faith

A leader must believe in his people as well as in the goal towards which he is leading them. Napoleon’s confidence in the valour oh his troops never wavered, once, at the siege of Toulon, he ordered a battery of cannon placed in such an exposed position that his staff objected. To man the guns was suicide; they said no soldier would do it. Napoleon ordered a placard printed: “the Battery of Men without fear”. The guns were always manned. Take confidence for example. The seeds of this quality are planted long before a child goes to school. It begins with the successful performance of limited tasks. Praise helps. Instruction helps. But if you really want to your child to excel you must go beyond that. You must search out and encourage areas of interest and aptitude.
