Motivating Leadership

            The leader that has a significant presence in my life is my father, Darrel Delatte. He is the first person that I think of when the word leadership comes to mind. Leadership, to me, means much more now than just a word. I've learned that leadership is not only a word it's a process. It's the process which an individual influences others to achieve a common goal. This process develops over time and becomes stronger as it progresses. Also, leadership is all about new ways to push a group of people toward higher levels of accomplishments. Once those accomplishments are met then one should simply set higher goals and strive to achieve them. Having said this, my father is a great example of a well rounded leader and his drive has inspired me tremendously. He is the owner and head boss of a sand blasting and paint company. .
             He started this company by his self 30 years ago. It was a one man operation in the beginning and he was only making enough to provide our bare necessities. However, thanks to his leadership skill and ability to strive for more he now has employed his son and son-in-law to join him. The company makes well over enough money to support all of our needs. The company's success made it possible for 3 of his children to go to college and provided high paying jobs for his son and son-in-law. His ability to set high goals and actually achieve them over time says a lot about the type of leader he is. He never gives up and he also got two other people to follow him and they are now taking the company to greater success. what he accomplished with this business has inspired me. His leadership skills is what got his company to where it's at today and its also what will carry his company from here on out. .
