Following

I attended a number of seminars today at a leadership conference.
One was on following.
At a LEADERship conference.
I realize that this concept is largely ignored.

I spent two summers working at a camp.
We were encouraged to find our roles, and be leaders, but most of all follow.
Our director would often call us out when we were getting too leader-y.
"Too many Chiefs, not enough indians!"
That's a common theme in the classroom...in the workplace...in life.
Standing up for what you believe in is crucial, and having integrity- undeniably important.

Dont get me wrong, I'm all about leadership.

But there is something to be said about empowering other to lead, and then following them.
There is so much unreached potential in our communities.
Today I am inspired to be a leader by following others, learning from their great ideas
&
Most of all,
Celebrating who they are.
