Mary Poppins Leadership
I read this post over at Gifted for Leadership and it reminded of a journal entry I made after watching Mary Poppins with my sister over the holidays. (FYI – Jes and I loved Mary Poppins as a kid so she bought me the 40th anniversary edition a couple of years ago.)
I’m kind of a geek in that I find a leadership example in nearly everything… even Mary Poppins.
Here’s why Mary is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious:
- confident
- firm, but fun
- direct, but not the “b” word!
- no nonsense
- friendly, pleasant, happy
- not stressed
- not a people-pleaser
- comfortable with who she is and the role she is supposed to play
What do you love about Mary? Come on, I know you love her too!
She made people think and she could understand you even though you don’t understand yourself.
Love her voice! I’m inspired to break out in song during my daily life.
Well after all, she was practically perfect in every way.
Oh, good. I’m glad I’m not the only one who breaks out into song just thinking about Mary Poppins.
So Funny I was just watching this 2 days ago on Tv telling Dinger How much I still love her and trying to find away to be like her!!!
Let’s see, she is not afraid to get dirty with the chimney sweeps.
