On Choosing and Being Chosen
One of the most valuable leadership traits I have been a part of is the act of “being chosen.” I have had various people seek me out, bring me on their team, and give me responsibility. This leadership act of seeing what someone can become and calling them to it is invaluable. No one can do this except a leader. A leader must see what another cannot see in themselves. Through mentorship, guidance and direction I was able to grow in ways I never imagined. Everything in my life is different because one person saw something in me when I was 16.
Seek others out, bring people on your team who share your values and who you see tremendous potential for. Only you can make this happen. You never know whose life you could change.
