Leadership - Lead yourself first
Why do I have a passion for knowing myself? In order that I can better lead myself, challenge myself, and most importantly, understand what I love doing so I can do it every day. This way I do what I love and love what I do.
Why do I have a passion to be a great leader? I believe to be inspirational and exceptional in business you need to be a great leader. Leadership and business are both about serving others. Passion, commitment, idealism, and honesty often sound out of place in conversations about business. Yet these qualities, plus gut sense, intellect, and intense conviction have helped many people achieve business success. Serving people by solving their problems, or satisfying their desires, is at the heart of the business value proposition. One of the greatest inventors and philosophers of our time, Buckminster Fuller, said "The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow". That is leadership. The exceptional leader knows that his or her primary function is to guide, inspire and motivate, not to be the hero, the one that steals the limelight. An inspired and motivated business leader guides the people around him or her to transform toward excellence while helping them to satisfy their own career desires. This is the value proposition of a great business leader. This is the type of leader I strive to be. I hope my writing helps you discover your own leadership greatness. Be Extraordinary!
