Jaycees Network of Ithaca Newsletter last updated December 1998

National Business Network
The mission of the USJCC National Business Network (NBN) is to create the ultimate support community for Jaycee entrepreneurs, Jaycees striving to become entrepreneurs, and Jaycees trying to advance their professional lives through contact with other Jaycee business owners.
The NBN will provide multiple avenues of communication with other Jaycee entrepreneurs and professionals, thus enabling the developing of business contacts with Junior Chamber members around the country, as well as around the world.
As information from Junior Chamber members is entered into the site, it will be immediately available for use.  Links to other professional business organizations will also be provided and updated continually.  In the near future, downloadable files and links to training materials on personal and profession growth in the business area will also be provided.
All Junior Chamber members are asked to log on and enter their business data so members from around the country can have the resources to contact for the benefit of their business.  All Jaycees are encouraged to sign on to the site and provide the information necessary for a free membership to the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce National Business Network at www.usjcc.org.  And remember; the NBN site will only be able to grow and improve with each individual's input.

Do You Have Leadership Traits?
Find out if you're a true leader by seeing if you possess these qualities:
Leaders start projects by asking "What needs to be done?" instead of "What do I need?"
Leaders next ask "What do I have to do to make a real contribution?"  The answer best suits the leader's strengths and the needs of the project.
Leaders continually ask "What are my organization's purposes and objectives?"  and "What qualifies as acceptable performance and adds to the bottom line?"
Leaders don't want clones of themselves as employees.  They never ask "Do I like or dislike this employee?"  But they won't tolerate poor performance.
Leaders aren't threatened by others who have strengths they lack.
