To Follow Is To Lead

 “ must follow the people. Am I not their leader? --Benjamin Disraeli

 *******

Ben Yoskovitz wrote an interesting post about leadership at Instigator Blog the other day:  10 Essential Business Leadership Skills. 

. . . more people are leaders than they realize. Leadership takes on many different faces; it’s just a question of understanding how you lead and why. --Ben Yoskovitz 

All of Ben’s points are pertinent, but two stand out: lead by example and be a follower.  Ok, it might be a strange combination, but it works. 

Leading and following are on the same trail.  It’s all about patience.  We do and show, we watch and wait, we follow to see if there’s something more to be learned. 

We’re the winners and we need to stand tall and hang around with the other winners.

We all know the saying, "to be a good leader, you must be a good follower". I think that this statement says much about leading by example. How can we trust a leader if he doesn't do what he is saying?

Good question, Marie. The leader who doesn't perform isn't a leader at all; perhaps a dictator, but not a leader.

I agree with Marie. I guess we already experienced that kind of leadership wherein the leader is not good at doing what he said. And also we don't forget the broken promises which we always hear from candidates during election.

Oh, Helen! Did you really need to bring candidates' promises into the picture? :) Sometimes I think the government should outlaw politics.
