what do you want people to say about you when you are finally in charge?
You’re forming a reputation right now, whether you’re in charge or not.
You also need to create a team environment where others enjoy working with you. If people enjoy working with you, it is much more likely they will potentially enjoy working for you.
The best way to be the type of leader people want to celebrate is to care deeply about the people you work with.
It’s not saying, “What can you do to make me look better?” It’s saying, “What can I do to make you be better?”
it wasn’t the authority Jesus possessed that made him a great leader. It was his influence over the minds and hearts of people, influence cultivated by speaking truth and challenging the status quo, by serving others, by healing people and meeting their needs. It was an influence cultivated by giving people hope and vision for the future. Ultimately, it was influence earned by demonstrating the depth of his love for people, by sacrificing himself on their behalf. That’s leadership.
are the people I’m leading here for me or am I here for them?
