Don't Show Up To Prove. Show Up

Most People Think Leadership Is About Being In Charge. Most People Think Leadership Is About Having All The Answers And Being The Most Intelligent Person Or The Most Qualified Person In The Room. The Irony Is That It Is The Complete Opposite. Leadership Is About Empowering Others To Achieve Things They Did Not Think Possible. Leadership Is About Pointing In The Direction, Articulating A Vision Of The World That Does Not Yet Exist. Then Asking Help From Others To Insure That Vision Happens.

Stories Are Our Attempts To Share Our Values & Beliefs With The Hopes That We May Attract Those Who Believe What We Believe. This Is The Basis Of Forming A Trusting Relationship. Story Telling, Therefor, Is Only Worthwhile When It Tells What You Stand For, Not What You Do.

Work Requires Effort. Things We Love To Do Feel Effortless. Only Do The Things You Love And You'll Never Have To Work Again.

I've Been Dogmatic To Use Myself As A Case Study.

Leadership Is Neither A Rank Nor A Title. It Is A Choice. The Choice To Provide Care And Protection For Those For Whom We Are Responsible.
