Mom's wisdom:
Leadership should seek to create a climate in which leaders and members of a group bring forth the best they have to offer.
Sometimes the best which individuals have to offer is not of a high quality, but we must assure them as to the acceptability of their offering. Our task is avoiding unnecessary mediocrity, too, and our tolerance of poor performance by ourselves and others is, at times, not tolerance at all, but lazy leadership.
Neal A. Maxwell, A More Excellent Way, p. 34

Well considered and well said. I liked this: …we must assure them of the acceptability of their offering. And I liked the advise of how to avoid unnecessary mediocrity.
Love this – after a training this last weekend, I was thinking about the phrase “a more excellent way.” Our Relief Society is doing a series of lessons on the Power of God – looking at different facets of power and how we can really access the Power of God in our daily lives. This got me thinking of the power of excellence – seeking after it, pushing ourselves to acquire it, without making anyone feel that their particular place on the path to excellence is unacceptable.
