Thanks for the kind words. We’re all still learning (or at least should be). The minute we stop learning/unlearning we must stop calling ourselves leaders as we are no longer worthy of the title, much less the responsibility.

I’m glad it resonated with you. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the astute observations. I concur with your observations, and offer the following excerpt from my book, which summarizes my thoughts on this matter:

“Why does all this matter? Because leadership matters. Whether through malice or naivete, those who trivialize the value of leadership place us all at risk. Poor leadership cripples businesses, ruins economies, destroys families, loses wars, and can bring the demise of nations. The demand for true leaders has never been greater. When society misunderstands the importance of leadership, and when the world inappropriately labels non-leaders as leaders, we are all worse for the wear.”

Thanks Simon. I omitted the name of the author as a professional courtesy, and I probably wouldn’t have authored this post, but this wasn’t the first time I’d heard this type of comment.
