Great leaders don’t

Disney Cast only door
How do you feel when your boss calls you and says, “Can you come see me in my office?”

 

Great leaders tend to do things that matter. Good leaders don’t.

Trouble is, much of what matters can’t be measured and much of what can be measured doesn’t matter – not in the hearts of those we lead anyway.

Employees are starving to know their leadership team thinks the world of them.

Good leaders assume they know. Great leaders don’t.

Anybody can buy a nice business suite, read a bunch of business best sellers, and recite inspirational leadership strategy.

But here’s the ultimate test of leadership.

The first victory in leadership integrity is a home win.

Very simply, this means are we an example or a warning?

As a leader. A parent. A spouse or partner.

With our health, our attitude, our service to our community, and at home where no one can see us.

Should we stay or should we go?

digital quote
Old school is not funny, it’s sad.

 

In the same way that we used to never be able to have our mobile devices powered on during take-off and landing, so too will many other notions fall.

A great leader is an early adopter.

A good leader waits.

The difference, is, well, very different in creating a team of (leaders) people filled with creativity and innovation or (followers) people filled with a wait and see work ethic.
