Leadership is taking responsibility … Simon Sinek

"What does it mean to be healthy, what does it mean to be a great parent? I don't have five things to be a great parent, right?! It's a lifestyle and it comes number One, with the commitment that I am responsible for the life of another human being, the growth of another human being. The closest to leadership is parenting. You have to be an infinite student of parenting. If you want to be a parent, you ask your friends, you ask your own parents, you join groups, you read magazines, you watch talks, whatever it is you're constantly consuming how to deal with this constantly changing challenge of being a parent. And it's ups and downs and successes and failures, you know? And that's what it is Leadership. Great leaders are students of leadership, no matter how achieved they may be. They're still learning. And it's a lifestyle."        

Leadership demands that you show up repeatedly to help lead the climb over whatever stands in the way of success. If it were easy, you wouldn’t be here.

"?No matter where we are inside our organization, leadership is not about rank or authority, leadership is taking responsibility for the people around us. And so anybody, on any team at any rank at any level can be a leader. The first choice is that we have to want to be."        

Don't bother looking for the leadership shortcuts They don't exist. It will take all your skills, focus, and energy.

Unfortunately, what got you here does not guarantee future success. In fact, without growth, your stay may be shorter than expected. You have to continue to put in the work.

Keep learning to keep moving forward. There are no permanent leaders; there are only those hungry enough to persist in the endless, never-ending challenge of leadership.

?“The best leaders are lifelong learners; they take measures to create organizations that foster and inspire learning throughout. The most effective leaders are those who realize it’s what you learn after you know it all that counts most.” -?John Wooden

"Be the leader you wish you had, become a student of leadership, study it, read about it, watch things about it, practicing it every day, be a parent, and join the movement means -'I'm going to take care of my team."        

As we attempt to transition into a networked creative economy, we need leaders who promote learning and who master fast, relevant, and autonomous learning themselves. There is no other way to address the wicked problems facing us. If work is learning and learning is the work, then leadership should be all about enabling learning.

"Practice leadership, learn about it, and study it because I do these things because I recognize I'm just a piece of a jigsaw puzzle. After all, when we do a jigsaw puzzle the first thing you do is lean the picture of the box against the wall, and then you start putting the pieces together to build that picture. "
