Leading With a Purpose

I recently attended a Rotary Conference for district leaders in Rotary. Over the course of 2 ½ days, we were trained on many issues relating to Rotary. One of my favorite quotes that came out of the conference is: “A good leader inspires faith in the leader. A great leader inspires faith in themselves.” It made me wonder, are we developing our managers and staff to handle situations or just follow rules? How much more effective could we be if everyone knew why we are trained to act in a certain way and how to act when confronted with something new.

Another of my favorite quotes that came out of the conference is: “How are we passing the torch to the next generation?” Are we developing the leaders our companies need to succeed in the future? Are we developing leaders that will be able to adapt to change? If not, now is as good a time as any to start developing the leaders of tomorrow.

Are you doing anything different to affect this growth?
