One of my buddies
is organizing an event.
Some lucky person is
to drive the guest speaker
to and from the airport.
This person will have
precious one-on-one time with the VIP.
My buddy has worked her ass off
organizing the event.
She’s given the event time
she could be spending with family
or… gasp… sleeping.
Someone told her
she should hold a drawing
and give everyone in the organization
the opportunity of driving the VIP.
No f**kin’ way.
Leadership HAS to have perks.
Leaders spend their time and resources.
They make sacrifices to get the job done.
They make the difficult decisions
no one else wants to make.
There HAS to be rewards.
There HAS to be perks.
Treating everyone equally
is only appropriate if everyone does equal work.
If you want great leaders,
reward them for leading.
