I've spent a lifetime exploring that question. 

It seems almost elusive and philosophical to the point that some consider it impractical, illogical, and even impossible. Can leadership really make a difference? Does it really impact the bottom line? Am I really able to measure the outcomes of good leadership vs bad leadership? 

​

As a lifelong learner who has sought the answer himself...seeking many sources from books, lectures, conferences, speakers, videos, interviews, experiences, and finally inspiration, I have explored the topic in depth. I even earned my doctorate in leadership studies. Yet, through all of this, do you know what I learned? 

​

Despite all of our so-called accumulated "knowledge" on leadership, we as a human race are just now barely recognizing the true impact of leadership.

​

But to define leadership...we have a long way to go.

 

Is leadership power? Yes...

Is leadership service? Yes...

Is leadership influence? Yes...

Is leadership results? Yes...

Is leadership love? Yes...

Is leadership about success? Yes...

​

All of the above. None of the above. And so much more!

​

The TRUE definition of leadership comes from WITHIN. You must define leadership for yourself. This is part of the journey that you are on. As you define it for yourself, you can craft your journey - and depending upon your success and influence, others may choose to follow. If you are headed in the right direction, incremental successes will lead to larger-scale successes.

 

But it begins with you...

 

What do YOU want? 

Why do YOU want it?

 

Answer these questions first...then we can work together to build the strategy that guides us through the "how" to achieve them.
