Things to Think About
“A boss has the title, a leader has the people.” Simon Sinek
It is so gratifying to find short, simple phrases that remind us of such important things. The 20th century was all about Boss Development and extolling the virtues of intelligence and expertise. Fortunately, many are now realizing that these things can become quickly toxic if they are not balanced with common sense and a genuine recognition, nurturing and development of people—at all levels—as partners in the achievement of team goals, division goals and enterprise goals. So, as you reflect on your own journey, vis-à-vis others, ask yourself how others would describe you—as a boss, or a leader?
Good luck on your journey!
