Lee Taft with his father, number one mentor and great leader, Clint Taft
What does it mean to be a leader? I think this is very difficult for most people to grasp. I believe the reason is because they don’t like to listen and take advice. Most great leaders in history listened and took advice. They learned from others and applied what they learned to their cause. Many people do not even know how to listen or take advice.
Some of the best leaders I have been around are great at making everyone around them feel important. They do not take credit when they can give the credit to others. Great leaders understand the big picture. They understand working for the greater good. Great leaders make us feel comfortable being around them and confident they will protect us and….well, lead us.
What great leaders have inspired you? How did they help shape the way you view your profession, your life, or the role of being a leader?
Love to hear your thoughts on being a leader.
Yours in Speed,
Excellent post Lee!
The most influential leaders that I know have one thing in common – they lead by example and walk their talk. Instead of giving me the answers they ask the right questions and inspire me to work harder for my goals.
Keep up the good work,
Juuso
