it’s happening all around you

“In organization after organization, real leadership rarely comes from the CEO…it happens out of the corner of your eye, in a place you weren’t watching.” – Seth Godin

I didn’t even know what it was called at first, I just knew when we had someone who was able to take the reins and not just maintain what we had built, but make it better. There have been many helping hands along the road to our success, and each one has brought their own piece of the puzzle and lessons that we needed to learn. There are no shortcuts, although you can certainly read and study and go to seminars to learn how to be a better leader. The real leadership happens though, not from knowing HOW to lead, but from actually living it. You have got to be totally committed to the belief that your people matter to you. You have to love them. It happens when you see the members of your team, your tribe, helping each other out. Its happening right now if you take a look and notice the bonds that the people that work with you have created, and their willingness to work together to make the day better.
