In brief:
You might of heard the argument about whether great leaders are born or made. The fact is great leaders are born but great leaders are also made. Some people who were born leaders may of been fortunate enough to possess these characteristics when they went to school. They'd organize what kids play on what teams because of the respect each child had for the "born leader". If knowing that a child can lead better then you annoys the heck out of ya, then get ready to explode because you're about to learn the characteristics eagles have that make a great leader.

"Leadership" - Through The Eyes Of An Eagle

- by Tyron (Ty) Hanson

Some believe leaders are born. Others believe that leaders are developed. I believe that people are born with certain leadership characteristics. The characteristics that they are not born with can be developed. Some of these characteristics we can get from the Eagle. By observing and studying this matchless bird you can pick up on leadership characteristics to help develop you and your network marketing team.

The eagle shows four major leadership characteristics:

1) Vision - Just like the eagle, all leaders must have vision. The eagle's eyes can see great distances. They can also directly into the sun without being blinded. You, being the leader of your network marketing team, must have vision. You must have a vision that guides and leads your team towards the organization's goals. The vision must be big and focused. A big, focused vision will produce big results.

2) Eagles Never Eat Dead Meat - You will never see an eagle eating meat that it did not kill. An eagle is not a scavenger. It hunts for and kills its own food. It hunts for the prey while it's warm and alive. You as a leader must go where the action is. You must go where hunt down and find lively people to grow you business.

3) Looks For & Flies Into Storms - As storms approach, lesser birds head for cover, but the might eagle spreads its wings and with a great cry mounts upon the powerful updrafts, soaring to heights of glory. Eagles use the storm to lift him to these great heights. Leaders use storms (challenges); we don't run from them. To leaders, storms are tools used for their development.

The eagle's eyes can see great distances...you must have a vision that guides and leads your team.

4) Very Gentle & Attentive To Their Young - The eagle is known for its ferocity, yet no member of the bird family is more gently and attentive to its young. At just the right time, the mother eagle begins to teach her eaglets how to fly. She gathers an eaglet onto her back, and spreading her wings, flies high. Suddenly she swoops out from under the eaglet and as it falls, it gradually learns what its wings are for until the mother catches it once again on her wings. The process is repeated. If the young is slow to learn or cowardly, she returns him to the nest, and begins to tear it apart, until there is nothing left for the eaglet to cling to. Then she nudges him off the cliff. In summary, TEACH AND TRAIN your organization! Network marketing is about duplication!

By studying the eagle, you can be born with and also develop leadership characteristics. Developing and using them your network marketing business will grow and become very profitable.

Bad analogy.

Eagles are opportunistic scavengers. I've seen eagles munching on road killed deer, dead cows.

Eagles will never kill anything their own size. Rabbit, small salmon (2-4 lbs) or trout, occasionally a lamb.

The chief source of mortality in eagle chicks is sibling rivalry.

You can do a better analogy with ravens.

A great bird indeed. There are lots of lessons that can be learnt from this bird. I like the focus part and the speed with which it moves to catch its prey.
