Morning Motivator - Growing Success in Others

"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others."
- Jack Welch

At some point in everyone's life, you move from being the student to the TEACHER. This may be a result of MATURITY or a FORCED leadership role. Either way, you find the value of LEADERSHIP is not YOUR ability to ACHIEVE, rather your ability to drive OTHERS to achieve.

In your daily life, many hats are worn and significant ROLES are played out. Some of us are managers, board members, parents or coaches - ALL of us, at some point, SERVE as a GUIDING spirit... a leader to others.

When you are PRESENTED with this opportunity to POSITIVELY shape the future of someone else - will you be ready? Are you in a place mentally and emotionally that allows you to SUBSIDE your ego and find PRIDE in the success of others? This question is what will allow you determine your READINESS for true leadership.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
As a person that has been FORCED into leadership roles at a young age and CHOSE leadership roles at a greater MATURITY, I share with you my insight...

LEADERSHIP is not a "SEXY" job that allows you to TELL others what to do, ACCEPT the glory for team success or sit back and REST while others do the work.

It is, however, a FULL time commitment to GROWING others selflessly, investing time into EDUCATION and suppressing any personal DESIRES to be the "TOP DOG."

Once you APPRECIATE that "real success" is the legacy of strong, difference making leaders you aided in DEVELOPMENT... You WILL be ready to take on the RESPONSIBILITY of shaping your own future.

Cheers,
Zach
