May I be blunt: if you’re not building more leaders, then you’re not leading, you’re following. Your job (regardless of whether or not you have a title) is to help people do work they never dreamed they could do. Your job is to inspire people to own their talents, express their gifts and do the best work of their lives. That’s part of what it truly means to lead. Seeing people not as they are, but as they can be and getting them to have that vision for themselves and get them to take action is what leading is all about. When a team of people grasp the possibility of what they can become together and they take action it is amazing what they achieve. Leadership is a choice and is all about how you engage others hearts and hands and grow their belief, talent, skill, ability and sense of team and accomplishment as you prepare them to become leaders.
