Are You Frustrated, Leader?

I was reminded today that leading is all about having the right frame of mind (or is it heart?) about others. Trying to DO things to lead others instead of first BEING SOMEONE who leads others will usually lead to frustration.

Are you a frustrated leader? Does leading feel hard? Perhaps the first place to look for help is inward. Ask yourself some of these questions:

Do I really value others? Do I convey that?

Is leading well important to me for what it does for others, or for what I will receive from it?

Can I REALLY be happy watching someone else succeed? Even if I get NO credit for whatever role I may have had in that success?

I hope these questions help you serve and/or lead well. Let me know what you think!
