In Leadership we don’t always have the access to thousands of leaders to help us model our leadership off of.

For most of us, we don’t learn about ourselves from those we lead under. We simply attempt to emulate their strengths and avoid their weaknesses which rarely results in effective leadership.

They can lead how they were called to lead better than you can lead how they were called to lead.
