Don’t what?
If you think of yourself as a leader, don’t be a manager. As a leader you need to support and encourage your followers to come with you on your journey and where they want to be. A manager conjures up the image of a boss coercing, forcing, ordering the team to achieve “the goals”, leader has the team willingly achieve & exceed “their goals”.
Every person who has pursued an interest in leadership has wrestled with this question. The answer is simple, those who appear to be born leaders have just started learning much earlier than the rest. Those who excel in the area of leadership, keep on learning, just as a top class golfer can be found on the putting green or driving range. An excellent leader is learning, practicing, observing all the time. Leadership is a commitment to continually learn and improve.
