The third C of Lee Iacocca's C list for leadership.

QUOTE from Andrew Carnegie: "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it."


Today I'm writing what I LEARNED about Lee Iacocca's third C in his list of nine traits of leadership. The third C is a leader has to be able to COMMUNICATE. Lee said, " I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. That is, telling the truth even when it's painful." Not all of our Presidents have done that.

The fourth C starts with the letters CH _ _ _ _ _ _ _  and is nine letters long. Can you guess? I'll tell you tomorrow.
