Honk! Honk!

When you lead, life can be difficult. Usually, there are people following behind who complain.

I heard about a woman who was in a car that had stalled at the intersection. Try as she might, she could not get the car started. Behind her was a man who insisted on honking his horn every few seconds.

Finally, the woman got out of her car, walk calmly back to the man’s car, she looked into the window and she said, “I’m having trouble getting my car started. Why don’t you go up there and see if you can fix it, and I’ll sit in your car and honk the horn at you?”

It’s a lot easier to honk the horn than to fix the car.

It is a lot easier to criticize leaders than to be one.
