The first responsibility of a leader is to define

reality.

The last is to say Thank you.

In between the two, the leader must become

a servant and a debtor

Governor Baldacci Encourages Leadership

March 5, 2007
Governor's Office

AUGUSTA – Governor John E. Baldacci joined 12 appointed leaders from various departments within state government Monday afternoon at a Maine Leadership Institute Seminar. Governor Baldacci talked on a variety of topics to the group, highlighting basic advice that he has followed during his time in public service.

“I have always thought you should be yourself, be honest with people and work hard,” said Governor Baldacci. “Those qualities instill integrity and credibility in what you do.”

Governor Baldacci told the group about when he first decided to run for the U.S. Congress because of encouragement from his father, and about his recent proposals to reform education and increase the cigarette tax by a dollar.

“You will never be able to achieve the results you want unless you put it all on the line,” Governor Baldacci said. “You need to be able to take risks and lead by example.”

The Maine Leadership Institute is a three-day seminar which prepares managers in state government to become leaders. It is the beginning of a comprehensive approach, under the umbrella of the Maine Management Service that will ensure managers in state government have the skills they need to excel in today’s fast-paced, results-oriented world.
