Leadership

I read this and it made sense to me :)

You’re NOwhere ready for leadership if…

1. You're nowhere ready for leadership if you can't stand the heat.

2. You're nowhere ready for leadership if at the first sign of controversy you play the victim.

3. You're nowhere ready for leadership if you don't have a core passion for some important, world-changing mission that you're willing to sacrifice your comfort and even your well-being for.

4. You're nowhere ready for leadership if your primary motivator is money. Yeah, it is true that by and large leaders get paid more than followers. But I don't know one significant leader who does it for the money. What I've found is, when you find something you're passionate about that matters and do it with excellence, the money always seems to follow.

5. You're nowhere ready for leadership if you're not a reader.
I heard someone say many years ago that leaders are readers. I've heard men and women proudly proclaim, "I haven't read a book in years." The sad truth is, they didn't have to say it. Everyone around them knew it.

So before you lust after a head-coaching job, a CEO's position, or anything that will require personal responsibility and accountability, ask yourself, "Am I ready for leadership?"
