How Leadership is the Art of Creating Greatness in Other People

There are many good and less good definitions of leadership around. A good one is about how the leaders transforms those around him or her.

Hugh McLeod of Gapingvoid writes: “It’s not a leader’s job to be great at whatever. It’s the leader’s job to make the people under him/her great at whatever.

Which is why, in old school Chinese martial arts, a master is not judged by how good his kung fu is, the master is judged by how good his/her students’ kung fu is.”

Well said! This should inspire us in our leadership practice to continuously focus on creating greatness around us.
