Dear Lion,
Formulas and equations play an
important part in our lives. They are powerful tools - a road map to
success -- that make many things possible and others, simply easier.
According to Einstein, the simple formula, e=mc2 describes
the workings of the entire universe. I may not be a Nobel Prize-winning
physicist, but I also have a formula, one that I know works based on 27
years as a Lion:
Dedication + Preparation + Teamwork = Excellence
Dedication
is each individual Lion's dedication to service which is abundant
but needs nurturing and growth. We need to continue expanding our
service to take on new challenges, such as through the new Reading
Action Program (RAP).
Preparation
is planning and the self-evaluation included in what I am calling "pit stops" like those in an automobile race.
Teamwork
involves making connections at the international level, the club
level and interpersonal level, especially working in harmony with the
Global Leadership Team and Global Membership Team.
Having a plan and a road map makes us more effective and efficient
by taking the guesswork and trial-and-error out of our quest for
excellence. The Club Excellence Award and the District Governor Team Excellence Award are
also tools that can eliminate uncertainty and point your club or
district in the right direction. Each have criteria that, if achieved,
will lead you to success.
I hope that you use all the tools available to you to their fullest as we pursue excellence together as Lion leaders.
Sincerely,
Wayne A. Madden
International President
