8. Leading from behind is more important than leading from in front (most of the time)

Colleagues,

MVP: Leading from behind is more important than leading from in front (most of the time)
​
Sometimes, when you are charging ahead, you outdistance the people behind you. 
 
When that happens, you are more of a lone wolf than the leader of the pack.
 
 Leaders who do everything leave no room for others to grow. Leading from behind means asking people how you can help them and empowering their visions as opposed to telling them what to do to serve yours.
 
Intention: Think about some people around you who have more leadership potential than they are using. What opportunities can you provide to them?

Our annual summer tradition is to share the most important things I’ve learned from other people throughout the month of July. This summer we have 20 lessons. You will receive one a day until we are done. If you feel particularly moved and want to share a reaction, please reply! 

Cheers!
