I have been reading almost every post of a great person called Seth Godin , in one of his last book , he had an exception about leadership that he sent us, the subscribers of his blog, in the mail,some "food for mind" as I like to call it. Here it is my friends , great leaders of our world , read it, think about it, read it again and act.
Here's a favorite excerpt:
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. The scarcity makes leadership valuable. If everyone tries to lead all the time, not much happens. It’s discomfort that creates the leverage that makes leadership worthwhile. In other words, if everyone could do it, they would, and it wouldn't be worth much.
It’s uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers.
It’s uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail.
It’s uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.
It’s uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle.
When you identify the discomfort, you've found the place where a leader is needed. If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your potential as a leader."
Kind regards,
Nico
