When You Are Given The Responsibility To Lead

Many leaders forget that leading others should be revered more than anything else. Being the leader means that you have been placed in a position to serve others.

Too often, I have seen leaders duck and cover, throw their people under the bus, throw their positional weight around, and instead of leading from a place of service, lead from a place of ego when things get rough.

You are privileged to be in a position where you can direct, shape, and focus people’s potential toward a specific result. When you are given the responsibility to lead, you are given a tremendous opportunity to influence many people’s lives positively, a responsibility you should never take for granted.
