We are fragile. Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I know some won't go here with me, but let's not pretend that it doesn't apply. So wherever you are now, give yourself room to be open.
This post came to me after hearing about a tragedy. One where hope was lost in one person's heart and mind.
So, since we're all leaders, let's consider the following:
- Everyone who hears the words of your voice has the potential of catching a virus. The virus is you.
- If you think that human beings were designed to endure harsh words, commands, and the like, I would beg you to reconsider or resign.
- You may be the only person someone believes in. Therefore, continue to inspire no matter how much it costs you.
- If your agenda does not allow you to purposely rub off on those who follow you, then throw out the agenda. You're in the legacy building business, whether you know it or not.
- If you're helping people realize their dreams, don't stop there, get into reproduction and replication.
- Don't forget the forgotten.
- Leadership implies responsibility, not privilege (thank you Peter Drucker).
- Your story is worth telling, so don't keep it to yourself.
Could you bring the light back to people who see only darkness. I'm not talking about changing people, just showing a brilliant light and letting the chips fall where they may.
My prayers go out to those today who've lost hope.
