And how often do you help them fulfill their dreams?
In terms of creating a legacy, these might be the most important measurements of all.
Inspiration
Most people fall into one of two categories. They are either more prone to wait for instructions. Or, they choose to initiate and inspire. Waiting for a road map is easier and seems safer. Unfortunately, it also leaves you in an unenviable position...being indistinguishable. And as a commodity your value is determined by someone else, instead of you. On the other hand, taking a chance by executing an unproven idea or stepping up to solve an interesting problem is tough...and a bit scary. But, that’s leadership. And that’s what separates you from the pack...and creates tremendous value.
The world has way more followers than we need, leaving plenty of room for those who choose to inspire. I hope you do.
