In the fitness industry, as I’m sure in many industies, I
read so many stories from men & women who share that their main goal is to
be a leader, or icon.
Aiming to be above others is not an act of Leadership. Leadership is not position, it's the ability to walk beside others & influence them to believe in themselves and their abilities.
"The key to successful leadership is
influence, not authority"
-Kenneth Blanchard
Leadership is not a goal, it is a development. When you focus on living fearlessly by example, and through the selfless
acts of helping others people will naturally follow.
Don’t focus on becoming
something. Focus on being someone…the best you!
Give up the spotlight, and focus on growth. Your life & the life of others will be enriched.
“Leaders become great, not because of their power, but
because of their ability to empower others”
-John Maxwell
Help others by offering a better you...
Exercise & develop the characteristics of a leader:
Confidence, Determination, Selflessness, Honesty, Consistency, Dependability, Conviction,
Drive, Ambition, Mental Toughness, Empathy, Boldness, Adaptability, Proactiveness,
Goal & Results Oriented.
Completely agree on this!!!
