The Morning Ascent
Leadership is a life we live, not a show we perform. It's not the position that makes the leader; it's the leader that makes the position. A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Leadership is about relationships, connecting with people, and adding value to others.
A leader influences people. Whether you’re influencing a little league baseball team, or a team of executives, your effectiveness has nothing to do with what your title or position is. Leadership is not about grandstanding or showing off. A great leader leads each person differently and finds out who they are, where they are, and where they’re headed. Leading is listening and learning.
Don’t be constrained by the self-limiting beliefs you may be tethered to. Your effectiveness as a leader is defined by how well you influence others and how well you serve others. You need to bring out the best in yourself so you can bring out the best in others.
Keep dreaming big dreams or wake up early and make them happen.
Make today your day to shine!
