“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the Gods which your fathers served which were beyond the rivers, or the Gods of the Amorites in whose lands you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all,

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able decide.

Luck favors the bold. Leaders must fearlessly exploit the Secret of Decisiveness. Act boldly at critical moments.
