You can never quit. You can’t give up on your vision and you can’t give up on those you lead. You can’t give up! You may not have it all figured out, but you have to keep kicking, keep squirming and keep swimming until you eventually reach the top. From the top no one will doubt you have succeeded as a leader. But it will take constant effort and courage to get there. You will have to trust yourself and trust those you lead. Great leaders get it, do you? - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2011/09/perseverance-and-leaders-success-leadership-story.html#sthash.9LFUKrx3.dpuf

Great story on perseverance you can share with those you lead, those who lead, with children, athletic teams etc...

Perseverance and Leader’s Success – Leadership Story



Leader’s Success is Dependent on Not Giving Up – The difference between successful people and those that aren’t often boils down to pure persistence; the desire to not give up. The difference between a leader’s success and a leader that doesn’t succeed is similar.
