LEAD
Recently i’ve realized that lots of people like to talk about leading, but few rarely do. (at least not in a good way)
When it comes down to it, people like the accolades of leadership, the upfront, take the credit, im the one who did it all myself leadership. But if that’s you, then your not a leader. The purpose of leadership is not to take the credit, In fact, to lead, you have to be willing to give power away.
While micro management works at small levels, in order to achieve true success, you must be willing to empower others. So in essence, as a leader, you are constantly calling those around you to give themselves away.
So enough from the people who stand up and take credit, enough from the people that LEAD out of position. I want to see true leadership in action. A team that operates under a clear, simple vision, and a team that is constantly giving way to the other members of the team. This is when success is achieved, this is the battleground where true leadership is forged. In the trenches with each other, laying down your life so that the person behind you can achieve what you’ve only dreamed.
