Being a good leader isn't just about telling people what to do. It's about inspiring them to be a part of your mission.
Talking Points:
- A leader is someone who knows where they’re going. It’s impossible to be an effective leader if there is no destination in mind.
- A leader can communicate their destination, figure out something that’s worth doing, and show other people why it’s worth doing it their lives too.
- A leader can get people to accept their part voluntarily. They can show them how it fits into the big picture of their life and how they can serve a mission beyond just themselves.
