What does it mean to be a leader?

Right now, you might be in charge of running a corporation with 600 employees, a classroom with 40 students, a small business team with 5 freelancers, or a household with 2 kids.

Whether it’s an executive board room or your family’s kitchen table, what does it mean to be a great leader?

It means you awaken the greatness in others.

Simply by knowing you, and by spending a little time in your presence, others feel stronger, clearer, more confident and capable. That is true leadership.

As White House advisor, veteran, and bestselling author Tom Peters once said: “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.”

This is my mission, and I hope, yours too. Not to attract followers, but rather, to awaken the fire of leadership in other people’s hearts.
