There’s a great leadership scene in the movie Dead Poets Society where Robin Williams, (the teacher/leader), gets up on his classroom desk and says, “I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.”
Leadership takes its followers on a journey.
Leadership does not allow its followers thoughts and actions to remain idle.
Leadership doesn’t just like change – leadership creates and paves the way for change.
Leadership longs for its followers to experience discovery.
Leadership gets its fix on getting its followers from point a to point z.
Leadership provides the paint and canvas.
Leadership gives away the musical instruments, provides the music lessons, and then goes and find a stage for the follower to perform.
True leadership has its full focus on the followers and the movement they can co-create together.
Sounds like a mission statement to me
