Anybody can buy a nice business suite, read a bunch of business best sellers, and recite inspirational leadership strategy.

But here’s the ultimate test of leadership.

The first victory in leadership integrity is a home win.

Very simply, this means are we an example or a warning?

As a leader. A parent. A spouse or partner.

With our health, our attitude, our service to our community, and at home where no one can see us.

What makes us smile because we’ve worked hard our whole life to reach a certain point in our life?

And does anyone know?

Does anyone even care?

In the big picture, it doesn’t matter.

Because we do it for ourselves and the things it allows us to do for others.

Heading to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park today. And tomorrow.

Shoot, can go there seven days a week if desired.

Talk about miracles, no?

Personal leadership is a real thing

Quote from leadership book about lies
Leadership is not something someone else does. It is us, leading ourselves. First and foremost.

 

Personal leadership is a real thing. Know what it is? It is not a secret.

What is it if it isn’t our personal responsibility to know why we are here?

To know what we are good at and how it contributes to the greater good, and that we must continuously work hard to do it better, with greater impact and reach?
