Today's link is to an article called 7 Simple Rules to Being a Leader, No Matter What Your Experience that showcases an organic, demonstrated leadership with the always-engaging sports metaphor:
"The Redskins season is a perfect demonstration that regardless of circumstance, anyone and everyone can be a leader. It’s not about age, gender or title. It isn’t even about being the best communicator or being the most popular. Many will argue that the characteristics that make up a leader are something you’re born with, but I disagree wholeheartedly. These skills can be developed at any time throughout your career and leaders can and do come in all different personality types. There is only one truism - You never become a leader through a job promotion, you become one only through your own actions."
This Rajat Taneja article is short but sweet. A young rookie steps up and earns his respect by showing the principles outlined here. Will you step up? Will you prove yourself? True leaders are those who improve the people around them, not just by raising the bar, but by lifting up their team.
