Meditations On Leadership
These are my thoughts on leadership related topics and ideas. It is meant to be a sort of journal for me and if you find it useful than I am happy to have helped.
“Life is a storm my young friend, you will bask in the sunlight one moment be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into the storm as you shout... do your worst for I will do mine.” Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo) The burden of leadership is that you are the one that faces difficulty head on. If you skirt that responsibility and let someone else take the brunt of the difficulty, if you shirk the call of duty to face the challenge and shrink at the gravity of your situation, then in that moment you cease to be a leader and to regain your leadership will take greater effort and sacrifice. If you fail your people after you exerted all your strength and mental faculties they will forgive you but if you fail your people because you caved in to the fear or temptation of a situation then the forgiveness will not come so easily. As a leader you have to do the right thing no matter the difficulty. That is your job. That is what being a leader means. Leadership LessonWhen faced with a difficult choice or action you must do the right thing. People are following you because they trust you to do the right thing.
