Response Ability - Leadership 3

[Music] a few years ago I had the opportunity to visit aitz this was not just any trip it was with an incredible woman Mrs Evan Newman even though for me it was my first time there for Bobby Newman it wasn't the last time she was there was not a trip but miraculously she survived to lead us back and share her story in 1944 the Germans came in and said pack as much as you can carry not more where are we going don't ask questions we arrived in aitz in the middle of the night when they opened the door there was thousands and thousands and thousands of people I remember one incident she shared with us that Illustrated another important principle of leadership responsibility it was during a death march she was tired freezing and hungry and on the verge of giving up so we got to the marching and we kept on going and going but slowly we got weaker and weaker falling over the bodies and we all looked like walking skeletons slapping nobody walked she was about to lie down and call it quits when suddenly a woman behind her leaned on her shoulder with no more strength left she said I can't anymore I said yes you can another 5 minutes another 10 minutes I said to myself why don't I let them kill me it's it's a way out I can't anymore and then I looked at Blan I said if if I just move an in she'll collapse and she'll be shot I felt I was responsible for her I said I can't do it as long as I'm alive I will see that she's with me whichever way and she did Even though bbby herself was on the verge of collapse she realized that she couldn't allow someone else to die on her watch and somehow she managed to not just survive but help this woman survive too if we look back in history we find that it wasn't only those who were smarter more talented or had more resources that made a difference leaders were those who saw a need and felt compelled to take responsibility and do something about it Bobby first made the decision to take responsibility for this woman even though she could barely forge aead on her own nevertheless she committed herself to do whatever she can to help and she ultimately found a way discovering reservoirs of inner strength she never knew she had all of us encounter challenging situations in our life it's our job to take responsibility and act leaders don't wait for the perfect moment to get things done they take the moment and make it perfect thanks for watching see you next time leadership it's not a position or a title but an attitude to life join any of the dozens of interactive informative and inspiring sessions while spending time in the presence of gusel all this at the agura convention November 12th through 15 igniting the leader within listen learn lead [Music]
