I want to be a better leader. I always want to be a better leader. But I never want to be authoritarian. I never want to crave control. I never want to be a manager. I never want to be an executive. I never want to be showy, flashy, or snazzy. I don’t want to be slick, smooth, or polished. I don’t want to be edgy and different for its own sake. I don’t want to seek fame and reward.
Here is the type of leader I want to be:
- I want to lead by example.
- I want to sacrifice die for those who follow me.
- I want to lead on my knees.
- I want to lead with my character first, my actions second, and my words if necessary.
- I want to lead with a balance of grace and truth.
- I want to be consumed with hope
- I want to be willing to lead through dark valleys and beautiful mountain tops
- I want to be radically different from what is considered normal
- I want to lead my family first
- I want to leave a wake of leaders behind me
I want to be a good leader.
