We at the e-Bulletin have been having a rough time choosing a winner; we all have our own favorites! So we turned to our readers for assistance in selecting a winner for our first haiku contest, centering on leadership in anticipation of the 2007 Nonprofit Workout.
The winner of a canister of Equal Exchange cocoa and Jim's Organic Coffee is Carmen E., divinity school student, with:
A clever haiku
concerning one's leadership?
Back to work, leader!
And the runner-up is Mary R. of Cambridge, with:
Many paths, diverse
leadership builds common goals,
power together
Thank you to all our participants and voters for making this a fun and successful contest! And check out our other entries below.

When colleagues are down
Or mission statement is lost
You lift up your team
|
Quiet confidence
humble guidance shines boldly
leadership beacon
|
|
networks are in place
people know roles and functions
lead by example
|
One path, common goals
From many, leadership builds
power together
|
|
Defining mission
Holding people together
Takes a strong leader
|
Together and one
building power together
hidden leadership
|
|
thick skin, soft heart, time
meld people and ideas
share credit with group
|
Vessel for your thoughts,
Interpreter of your needs;
I speak when you can't.

Follow the Leader
is a game that adults play
They should know better
|
surrender to none
lead yourself into freedom
and share your lessons
|
|
Quiet, guiding, bold,
confident power, humble,
hidden leadership
|
Good, bad; leadership
is easy to crucify...
harder to model
