Who's following you?

The children's song came to my mind the other day, 'We are following the leader, the leader, the leader we are following the leader wherever he may go..' This really challenged me as I thought about who was following me. Let me ask you the question today, ' who's following you?

L-E-A-D-E-R

Listen
Speaking out and taking stand is one thing, but keeping an open ear is essential. Listening will always empower a leader to speak more wisely.

Enthusiastic
If you are passionate about something, enthusiasm will radiate to those around you. Enthusiasm will always be attractive and will draw others to you.

Action
Having a plan of action is crucial to know where you are going and what we want to achieve. I love to be around movers and shakers who commit to getting things done. We need to be creative and willing to take risks in order to find new ways of accomplish our goals.

Dependability
People should be able to trust a leader to operate ethically and with their best interests at heart. If we want the trust of others we have to be dependably and consistent. Fulfilling promises and goals are vital in maintaining loyalty and confidence.

Educated
Knowledge is important and learning crucial. Many stop learning and therefore stop growing. A leader should also lead by example.

Results
We should always look for results and actions completed. A leaders motivation should be about getting something positive done.
