Hi, Tristan.

I loved your post. It was fun thinking back to watching Tony on TV, and wondering what message my kids walk away with from their TV time now. I think I'll have to ask them, or perhaps settle in with my boy this weekend and watch for a bit with him.

You are so right when you talk about the difference between good leaders and great ones. The great ones never seem to think along the lines of "what's in it for them." They're other-focused, and are not "put out" when a pupil surpasses them. In all honesty, it's probably what they want most.

At this point right now, I would have to say that Mike Henry qualifies as a great leader for me. He has an objective and a goal, which is building character-based leaders. But he has been going about it by bringing leaders together from all over the world, taking the time to learn about them and become their friend, He's created hope in me by taking me out of the isolation of a single-proprietor, home-based business and connecting me to a larger world, even providing me with my own "advisory board" in the form of our regular Round Table talks, And he's made a difference in my life, and many others I'm sure. He's a man of principle and character, and I'm truly blessed to have met him at this time in my life.
