Crawford http://stuart.calgarybloggers.ca/?p=2801 Life has a funny way of coming around eh?

I used to think in order to be a real leader you needed to be in front of the room, the one leading the group, being in charge, organizing the events and so on…

Boy was I wrong!

Sometimes a real leader comes from the back of the room, the quiet one, the one that when they speak they have something to say…and so on.  The real leader is the one who is there for you when you don’t need them, but also when you do.  The real leader understands the importance of the big picture, a real leader doesn’t scoff with smart ass comments but digs deep to see the relevance of the big picture.

Thanks for the wake up this morning!
