A beautiful thing about being a leader is that you
never shine alone… Everywhere a leader
goes, he or she enables the best to emerge in other people. In other words, a real leader makes others
shine, sometimes even brighter than her or him.
Whether it is in the office or along with relatives,
in the company of friends or not so
friendly people, in all circumstances, leaders inspire and help others to
feel I can do better, no matter what
it is.
It is not natural: a leader herself or himself has
been inspired at some point and she or he has learned how to inspire others in
a subtle way, as there are no courses that can teach it to anyone.
It is not obvious either, as a leader does not carry a
visiting card announcing I am a leader
and I am here to inspire you. Most
of the time, inspiration takes place just by being present, like the light of a
star…
It requires work internally and externally: by refining
thoughts and emotions, by understanding intentions and by creating bridges
towards other people.
(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons
to be a Leader)
