I learned early that leadership is what's at the heart of this business and after all these years I still believe that is true. Leaders help shape opinions because they are out front making things happen and people learn the business by watching and listening to people who grow personally as well as the business.
This following statement by John Addison is about leaders and what they really do.
"A leader can't be talented and skilled at everything. Nobody is. Being a real leader doesn't mean you're the one who knows how to do it all. It means you're the one who knows how to get it done. How to get it done always means working with the talent and skills of others."
I love that idea because that's how I learned this business. I believe I have certain strengths but I certainly am not skilled at everything. I have learned from others and have done meetings with other leaders who are way better doing certain things than I am.
So maybe what this message is saying is, It doesn't matter who get's the credit. "Just get'er done."
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
