W.I.N. Wednesday: The Test of Leadership
“The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.”
James Buchanan
Everyone has within them the seeds of greatness. Your job as a leader is to foster, develop and nurture those seeds. Get out of the way and let the sun shine on them. Create a weed free environment to allow they to flourish. Challenge them. Give them the nourishment, encouragement, and support they need to grow and develop their greatness. Teach them to find the lessons in failure. Help them learn to think critically, make good decisions, solve problems and take action.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
John Quincy Adams
Leadership is never about rank, position or title. Those put you in a formal leadership position; they do not make you a leader. Everyone is in a position to lead, if you choose to do so.
What’s Important Now? Be a leader. Elicit greatness from yourself and others. Inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more through your actions and your words.
Take care.
