Leadership Flows From Within

Posted in Leadership, tagged , on June 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Here’s a question:  When a leader goes on vacation, do they stop leading? I would say no.  Sure they are not (or should not) be going full-steam ahead, but I think a true leader just leads naturally.  It’s not something they work up or force, it’s almost as natural as breathing or eating.  Why is [...]
