Some Thoughts On Leadership...

You probably are not leading when...

- You wait for someone to tell you what to do rather than taking the initiative yourself
.
- You spend too much time talking about how things should be different
.
- You blame the context, surroundings, or other people for your current situation
.
- You choose not to speak the truth in love.

- You are more concerned about being cool or accepted than doing the right thing
.
- You aren't taking any significant risks
.
- You accept status quo as the way it's always been and always will be.

- You start protecting your reputation instead of opening yourself up to opposition
.
- You procrastinate to avoid making a tough call
.
- You don't feel like your butt is on the line for anything significant
.
- You think what you say doesn't matter
.
- You ask for way too many opinions before taking action.
