“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” ~Epictetus
Last week a young man I am mentoring was picking my brain on leadership.
We talked for an extended period of time as I gave him every last bit of wisdom (knowledge with experience attached to it) about leadership I could give him, but at the end of the conversation I told him; “great leadership is an ever-evolving process, you set the bar where you see yourself needing to get to and then you go for it by behaving yourself into it a day at a time.”
I then shared with him the most important step in becoming a great leader: Leading your own life. It is impossible to effectively lead others if you are unable to have the discipline to lead yourself.
How are you leading…yourself these days?
P.E.A.C.E.
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.”
