Leadership
Photography by Rob Walsh on Upsplash
There is a lot of information out there about how to be a leader and what it takes to be a leader. A lot of that information has never really connected with me because a lot of it feels directed towards being a boss or a manager. That is not something I want to be or what I was looking for. I was looking for information on how to be a leader.
I don’t want to boss people or manage people. I want to lead them. Leading people is a lot different than being their boss or their manager. So what makes a good leader? What does it take to be a great leader? I am not 100% sure, but I am learning so much from Simon Sinek and I feel that I am on the right path with his books, his speeches and his podcast.
The underlining thing that I have seen though out all the information I have read so far, is to be the leader that you want in your company or your life. To be that person you wish had lead you and learn on the way. There is a lot of information out there and there are a lot of books. The true question is are you willing to do what it takes to be that leader?
When I became a lead at my company there was some training but I feel that wasn’t enough for me. I wanted more, I want more for my coworkers and I want more for myself. I want to be the leader they need and in choosing to be that leader I knew there was a lot that I have to learn. I don’t have all the answers and I don’t always know where to find all the answers.
I just know that I want to do the best that I can at learning what it takes to be a great leader. I want to do this. If you want to be a great leader than be one. Do the work to find out what it takes to be one and keep learning. Be a student of leadership and you will find the answers you are seeking.
When you find something that inspires you and excites you. Feel free to stop by and share here on my page. You are always welcome to join in the conversation and add your insight and knowledge. I look forward to hearing from you and watching us all grow together.
As always, take care of yourself and each other.
