John Maxwell, “Trust is change in your pocket.”
Non-Leaders define themselves by their authority not by the permission of the people.
There is a world of difference between “I can do this because I have the right to,” and “I know some people won’t like it, but I still believe it’s worth it because this is for the best.”
The goal is not credibility, the goal is impact.
Applications for Development
1. Gain an awareness of the change in your pocket: How do people respond when you propose change? Are they pushing back on the change, or are they pushing back on you.
2. If you have a staff, have this conversation.
3. Pick your battles.
