Why are you a leader?
What do you hope to get out of being a leader? Chances are, you got started in leadership for any one of thousands of reasons, but soon realized that what leaders do is help other people to achieve goals:
- your goals
- your team's goals
- your organization's goals
- the personal goals of your associates
To do this takes a combination of coaching, counseling, helping, equipping, encouraging, prodding, following up -- and basically, serving.
The purpose of leadership is serving a higher purpose that helps other people live better lives. It's what centered leaders do. It's what you can do.
Why would you ever settle for less?
