A thought on leadership

Had a great afternoon working with student leaders at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Delved into culture change, positional leadership, and respect & trust within organizations.

One of my favorite topics of discussion comes from author Simon Sinek’s TED Talk.

“Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank. I know many people at the senior most levels of organizations who are absolutely not leaders. They are authorities, and we do what they say because they have authority over us, but we would not follow them. And I know many people who are at the bottoms of organizations who have no authority and they are absolutely leaders, and this is because they have chosen to look after the person to the left of them, and they have chosen to look after the person to the right of them. This is what a leader is.”
