Late Arrival
A late comer at the prize-giv-ing ceremony of the Palmerston Noth Intermediate School was the guest speker, Mr P. O. Skoglund, the former Minister of Education. Apologising for his late arrival, he explained that he had decided to walk from his hotel to the ceremony. He had sauntered quietly to the intermediate school, and arrived there punctually enough, only to be informed by a boy that he should have been at the Opera House, some distance away. “The troubles was,” said Mr Skoglund, “that my secretary was notified. But I haven’t got a secretary; I lost him a few days ago.”—(PA)
Nothing so betrays the leader as reluctance to stand behind, defend and pay the price of the course of action he has chosen to follow. He must be willing squarely to shoulder the responsibility; and it is at this point that many people reveal deficiencies which debar them from real strength as leaders. —Ordway Tead.
