Courageous Follower: Taking Action
A leader leading leader is not the only one leading. A leader leading leader attracts people that follow and lead well and empowers both to take action.
Courageous Follower: pg 35 - "leaders want their staff to assume more responsibility, initiate ideas, and take action of their own."
Some positive examples this week of a leader leading leader; Curtis staying after me for a meeting (it took 2 tries to get me in the meeting) about settings on a new piece of software that we're trying to implement, Jamie going beyond her normal responsibilities to get a problem fixed, and Austen developing a new market awareness program.
This is type of work that energizes a leader and leaves him refreshed at the end of a hard day instead of worn down.
We must all learn to do the job we're hired to do and accept that the job is not all laid out on a policy or a checklist. We have to think and take action; ask questions, insure we have the knowledge and keep asking ourselves and others questions until we do.
Don't be the weakest link, take action and be a leader leading leader.
This is also a great example of good Character, Competence and Chemistry as described by Bill Hybels in Courageous Leadership and Dan Cathy of Chic-Fil-A.
Follow well.
