Make It Till You Fake It!

Where do the best leadership principles come from? The Author of Life. No one knows better then He who created the heart, mind, and soul. There are a lot of leadership concepts in practice around the world. The best principles are those that God has graciously shared with us. The principles that continually work well are the ones that resonate with the heart and mind. If we are dealing with things (management), we can have a more calculated interaction with them (the “things”). But if we are dealing with people, God has given us proper ways for working with one another — and even if we don’t believe in God, when we steal from God by using His principles, leadership always goes better — because it’s how we are made to function in the first place.

I’ve been on all sides of the leadership spectrum — from a believing and non-believing perspective. From being a worker-bee, to a leader/CEO, to learning and teaching leadership from the top experts in the world. 

Leadership is about people — always has been, always will be.
No one is born a leader. Leadership is taught. Some personality types have a good propensity for leadership but still need to learn the principles of good leadership in order to not fail leading others. Some people call those who have a bent to be outspoken and oriented toward delegating good leaders, or those that are entrepreneurial in nature good leaders. In fact, without deep, proper leadership training, those personalities just mentioned tend to be the poorest of leaders. They may be great at starting an organization, but soon it requires more people to grow the organization, and the lack of true leadership understanding will cause most to fail — or at least not to grow very well. Can you build an organization without using these principles? Absolutely. Will it last or cost you significantly more? Definitely. Does that mean you are guaranteed success if you use these principles? No. But the chances of you going further, building great relationships, succeeding, and enjoying life are much greater.
