To be the example
to make people reach
To demonstrate the courage
to live what you teach

To activate vision
and build connections strong
To inspire one’s learning
to unfold the year long

To show your own spirit
as you follow your heart
To be brave under pressure
and take the heat from the start

To push for more greatness
because you see what can be
To provide the way to get there
and inspire, “It’s up to me!”

To be bold and courageous
focused without fear
To be wise and engaging
direct, sure and clear

To get strong results
through your people’s desire
That you have ignited
by flaming their fire

Through words or through action
with character to impart
To pave the way for greatness
that’s the leader’s heart.
