So you call yourself a leader
I would like to set up this forum for leadership thoughts & insights. Here you can write down a quote that catches your attention, talk about an experience you have had, or just give leadership advise. I'll start.
"Leadership is more about the people he/she leads than about the leader themselves". If people are not following you are not leading.  |

To be a good leader there are times you need to be a follower.

From a bumper sticker on an old '69 VW bus: When the people lead, the leaders will follow.

If you pray for potatoes, you had better reach for the hoe.

Leadership is the art of inspiring or motivating others to accomplish the mission!

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.

Great topic, but not related to Colorado... I am moving it to the "Other topics" forum.

Leadership is a means, not an end. And it is a means that can be (and has been often) used to great ill effect.
The examples of talented leaders who were also operationally incompetent or pursuing evil agendas, taking their followers straight into the abyss, are legion...Napoleon Bonaparte, Maj Gen George A. Custer, Lord Neville Chamberlain, Adolph Hitler, Fidel Castro, Josef Stalin, Rev. Jim Jones, Rev. David Koresh, Joseph Smith Jr., William H. Russell, Hideki Tojo, Richard Fuld, Jeffrey Skilling, Herbert Hoover, and George W. Bush. And a place on this list should well be reserved for Barack Hussein Obama Bin Laden.

You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.
