Lead Out Loud, An Interview with Michael Mesa

Lead Out Loud, An Interview with Michael Mesa

Recently, I sat down with Michael Mesa, of Fairway Independent Mortgage. He had some valuable thoughts on leadership and helping teams become a driving force. What does Michael know about leadership? At the age of 17, he joined the army, after having a difficult youth. He found leaders who were willing to pour into him because they saw something that he did not even see in himself. Here are a few lessons I picked up from the my time with Michael.

True leaders see you, not for who you are, but for who you can become. People are more discretionary with their effort and attention now more than ever. Gone are the days of do this "because I'm the boss and I said so." When you connect with someone in the struggle for their purpose and passion, you create a bond that ignites exponential effort.

Leaders do what is right, because it needs to be done. They don't wait on others to make it so. Leaders go first. That's it, plain and simple. When a leader does what is right because it is right, it attracts others who believe the same.

Leaders speak and live their vision out loud. It's how they grow their team. It's how they trim their team. Leaders allow their vision to be a magnet, simultaneously attracting and repelling people. They are not begging for others to follow them. Leaders are fired up and sure about their vision of WHERE THEY ARE GOING. They attract others who just HAVE to be a part of that adventure.
