Lead You First

Leadership is not just for CEOs. Leadership is not just for prime ministers and presidents and people with large bank accounts and massive offices. Leadership is not only an opportunity, but the responsibility of every man, woman, and child on the planet today no matter what it is you do, whether you’re a filmmaker, a startup entrepreneur, a manager of a corporation, a bread creator or whatever. It’s a baker. I guess that’d be a baker. Whether you’re a teacher, whether you’re a firefighter, whether you’re a politician, whether you are a gardener, whether you are a wall maker, I don’t know whatever it is you do, but every day you walk out in the world gives you not only that opportunity, but brings with it the awesome responsibility to show upas a leader because leadership really isn’t a title.You know my book, The Leader Who Had No Title, you’ve probably read it. Leadership is less about a title and it’s more about an approach, a way of being. And some of the traits of leaders without titles, they’re radiant optimists in a world gone cynical. One of the things about leaders without titles, they don’t see their job as a job, they see their job as a craft no matter what their work is. They understand there’s dignity in all labor.
