Are You Worth Following?
"Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily, even if you had no title or position." — Brian Tracy
If you lead people at work, you generally can tell people what jobs to do and they will do them because you are the boss.
But highly effective leaders ALSO are liked, because they are good people working toward positive goals. They are respected for their competence, expertise, and integrity. They inspire loyalty because they take care of their people and help them grow in their careers and their lives.
Make the effort to grow as a professional, so that your people WANT to work with YOU. They can get a paycheck in lots of places.
