There is no waste in a leader’s life, as he or she
takes a step if it is likely to bring some type of benefit. This is not fuelled by any selfish desire of
course, because the concept of leader itself implies service.
If that step takes the leader closer to success, she
or he uses that opportunity to help others to reach their own attainments in
life. The leader shares methods and ways
that inspire and encourage. Those other people
go on to share the same with others, and so on: a ripple effect.
If that step takes the leader closer to failure …
well, that is also good. Fiasco is a
very good teacher and by being a leader, that situation can convert into a rung
on the ladder of success. After all, the
only common thing between everyone who has been successful is the experience of
failure at some point along the way!
It is good to be a leader who knows how to take
something useful every time from every situation, having also the chance to
help others in that process.
(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons to be a Leader)
