Thought Tweet #826 Focused effort becomes contagious. You want to make effort contagious...am I right!

When intelligent followers know the vision and see a leader illustrate willpower and self-control to achieve that vision, they emulate that skill. 

Leaders succeed when they act in ways that illustrate intelligence, self-control, and focused drive.
