Leadership is self-leadership. To lead other people, you must first lead yourself. To develop other leaders, you must first put yourself through it.
‘You must develop the person before you begin developing the leader.’
‘It’s very difficult for people to rise up if their leader refuses to put the wind of development under their wings.’
‘Your ability to develop others is dependent on what you know and what you know how to do.’
‘The only way for any person to learn leadership is to lead. Leading isn’t a theoretical exercise.’
‘If you want to develop leaders, you need to encourage them to begin practicing their leadership and giving them a place to do it.’
‘When you develop leaders, you need to prepare them today to seize opportunities in the future based on their giftedness.’
‘When you develop leaders, the most important thing you can do is let them know what you’re thinking and why.’
‘As you develop leaders, help them to cultivate their creative thinking ability. Encourage them to push the boundaries of what’s possible.’
‘When people get to weigh in on their development, they more readily buy in to owning their personal growth progress.’
‘If you will sweat with your people, they can handle the heat.’
‘When people understand that you’re in it with them, they’re more likely to engage with you.’
