Why great leaders are amazing because they don’t actually lead people.
How do great leaders lead?
They don’t.
Great leaders serve.
▪️They ask “How can I help?”
▪️They measure their effectiveness by how many barriers they bash for frontline folks; they honour the frontline.
▪️Their calendar has hours and hours of walkabout time on it.
▪️They remember people’s names.
▪️They look for opportunities to ‘attaboy’ people even in a virtual work-from-home world.
▪️They never break a promise.
▪️They see themselves at the bottom of the organization chart.
▪️They eat their own dog food.
▪️They encourage imperfection.
▪️They define progress by the number of tries and mistakes made.
▪️They place the priority on doing stuff rather than on analyzing stuff to death.
Leaders create followers by earning them through the actions they take every day.
Leaders place the heart over the mind….
Cheers,
Roy
