“A leader is one who releases the discretionary energy of others.”

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ? –Jack Fallow

Today’s lesson:? Leadership is contextual not inherent.? Don’t leaders have leaders?? So one person’s leader is another’s follower.

Disengagement?
The problem is that within organizations, we often ask employees to follow someone who is not capable of being their leader.? This is yet another fast track to disengagement.

More experience, more tenure, more education does not necessarily qualify me to be another’s leader.

I’m OK.? You’re OK.? Let’s fix the system.
