Leaders Developing Others

Having clear goals is critical but leadership is 99.99% about the journey and developing the team of people you take the journey with.

If you don’t absolutely love developing other people then you will never truly enjoy the many challenges of leadership.  

Quote: Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. Jack Welch Retired Chairman and CEO of GE

If you truly enjoy the journey and especially the many opportunities to develop people along the way then you will be fulfilled in your life regardless of your final destination.


A Simple Leadership Mission for Everyone:

Look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and simply make it your mission to help as many people climb up that hierarchy towards self actualization as you can.  

Wrap your particular mission around a theme that resonates with you.  For example our theme is helping contractors grow profitably while building stronger businesses for the next generation.  

What is the theme of your leadership mission?
