It’s A High Compliment

How would you like to be called crazy?

Most people would run from it…

Like, “Man, that dude is crazy”.

Or, “Sheez, she’s a nut case”.

I’d take it. In a heartbeat.

In some circles, it’s a high compliment.

We’ve all wondered about how we’ll end up later in life.

We worry about living with regret.

The more we think about it, the better our odds that we won’t.

The invisible challenge with finding great leaders?

Too many people want to become leaders.

But not to do work that matters and not to make a difference.

What?

There’s a sad paradox.

People want to become leaders so they can make more money and buy bigger, better, and newer stuff.

Go ahead, tell me I’m lying!

There’s always a rebuttal, right?

Human nature?

Justice?

Whatever you call it, there is always another perspective.

Leaders, just like parents, get caught in the vicious cycle of busy-ness.

People judge us on what they see us do, not on what we hope to do.

Perhaps a third leadership value or skill would be “showing a sincere interest in you“.

Someone once told me you can tell a lot about a person with one question:

Dog-people are always friendly.

Cat-people are friendly sometimes and other times not.

Though this example is completely unscientific, the fact is, no one cares how much the leader knows, until they know how much the leader cares.
