Leaders Learn
Category:Collaboration,Leadership,LearningIf you’re not learning,
You’re not a leader.
If you’re learning alone,
You’re not a leader.
Leaders mobilize many
To learn together.
They inspire others with awesome opportunities,
Inviting people to come together
And venture out to the edge,
Beyond their comfort zone.
Leaders pose powerful questions
And ask for help from others
To find the answers.
These questions focus,
Inspire
And challenge,
While building trust.
They urge us all to explore
Uncharted land
And expand our horizons
While driven by a shared quest.
Leaders inspire others
To lead others
In their quest for answers
That matter
Which, of course,
Will only lead to more questions
To be pursued
In a never-ending quest
For expanding opportunity
For everyone.
Don’t measure leaders
By the number of followers.
Instead measure leaders
By the number of leaders
They unleash.
Dare I say?
Leaders inspire us
To pursue our exponential potential.
