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.
“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” ― James Allen If you are aspiring to be a great leader I encourage you to read the biography of your historical hero. I recently finished reading Ron Chernow's biography of George Washington titled "Washington, a Life" and I appreciated the unpolished look at Washington's life. In fact, I admire Washington more after having the curtain pulled back a little on some of his shortcomings because I feel like he is now more relatable. Also, because he felt more relatable to me the personal sacrifices to achieve what he did also feel more real and colossal. He essentially sacrificed his life, but rather than dying like most people who sacrifice their lives, he lived a life that wasn't anything close to being his own. It was a life where he put the good of the people over his own wants, comfort, family, time, body, finances, and everything else you can think of. America owes him a debt that is impossible to pay. Leadership LessonIn order to be a great leader you will have to sacrifice many things. The greater the leader, the more you will sacrifice.
