A recent TED Talks inspired me to write some thoughts on leading. It continues to humor and even frustrate me when leaders don’t lead. A particular name plate on a desk or badge on a lapel doesn’t necessarily carry importance or express significance. And, this blog entry is not really an explanation on the difference between a good leader and a great one. The TED lecture carried the tone that you have leaders and then you have those who lead. I so agree with that description. And, frankly those who really lead many times carry less of a profile in the world. Just because you are a leader doesn’t mean you have genuine followers. Leaders have followers because they have to follow. But, those who lead have genuine followers – those who follow because they want to! What would happen if leaders really led?
