Leadership

“Leadership” is such a great topic and so very misunderstood.  So many confuse being the “boss” with being the “leader.” Here’s how I make the distinction…if I pay you to follow me, I am your boss…if you choose to follow me (regardless of pay) I am your leader.  You don’t aspire to be a leader; a leader unfolds in your life when you take a stand on an issue that is also of importance to other people.  A leader is different than a project lead.  A project lead is a “boss” of sorts because they are accountable for getting the work accomplished through other people.  A leader aligns the values of people who mobilize to a future they desire.

Conditions can be set to help a person discover their attunement to leadership work through workshops such as follows:
