The Daily Wake Up Micro Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
I was on a panel with fellow LinkedIn Local promoters all over the world discussing the power of networking. After our portion, they had a discussion on leadership with established leaders from around the world. The first question to the thought-leaders was an easy one, or so I thought, they asked what leadership meant to them. “A leader is someone with followers,” I thought, and wondered if someone would reveal the answer to such an easy question. They didn’t. There were answers about being authentic and being a servant, yet no one gave the most obvious answer: A leader is someone with followers. John C. Maxwell writes in his book, a leader with no followers is just going on a walk.
The reason there is a section on leadership in my book, You Got It, Now Go Get It, is to reveal how leading by influence, instead of control, will help others follow your lead. What I’ve experienced in life is there are many people with the title of leader without followers. There are many without the designation of a leader with people following them. Leadership isn’t about the title. It’s about loving others enough to show them the way by revealing their leadership through transparency.
