Do You Expect Perfection?
The Colonel continually reminded me, “You aren’t ever going to be perfect, kid. There is no such thing as a ‘perfect leader.’ Just be a better leader today than you were yesterday, and better tomorrow than you were today.” https://vimeo.com/698382920 I tend to lean...
Are You a Leader With No Followers?
By definition, you are not a leader if no one is following. The Colonel put it this way: “You can have a brilliant vision, kiddo, but if you can’t inspire others to action with that vision you’re not a leader, you’re just a dreamer.” You see, to be a leader, it’s...
