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.
“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” — Lao Tzu If you are doing it for the money you are doing it for the wrong reason because money is just a tool and it can ruin your life just as easily as it can help your life. If you are doing it for the fame you are doing it for the wrong reason because while you are alive fame takes more of your life than it gives and when you are dead you can't enjoy it, plus no matter how famous you are you will eventually be forgotten. The only real reason to be a leader is to serve others. You should only be a leader if you can help those around you. Leadership is never about the leader, it is always about the people the leader serves. That is why Christ in the bible told his disciples: "But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all." Mark 10:43-44 He wasn't telling them to not be leaders, he was explaining that the greatest leader is the greatest servant because people follow those that can help them achieve what they want. So, if you want to be the greatest leader you have to help the most people otherwise they won't follow you. Being a leader implies that you have followers, people follow leaders because they believe that they will get more by following the leader than by not following them. Leadership LessonThe first place you should start as a leader is with however you can best serve those around you. Remember that it is never about you. It is always about those you serve as a leader.
