“Every true leader is a true follower.”

To successfully make an impact or change, Leaders need assistance from others to help build production and share ideas. When both roles work together, doors open to limitless opportunities for growth and development.

The world is full of many people, that daily are just trying to find their way. Regardless if it’s consciously or unconsciously not far behind will be a ripple effect from their impact.

“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

Most times, when people go out into the world it’s probably because they are seeking help or guidance regarding a matter at hand. For instance, they schedule a job interview. To be prepared they look over their job description, website, even the reviews. Likely, preparing to present themselves as a known follower of that company. Once, the questions begin, the interviewee will then present characteristics that can take them from a follower to a leader of the company if giving the opportunity.

A major leadership role of the interviewer, is to be able to identify or recognize talent when it presents itself. However, not all can, and that doesn’t mean that the interviewee wasn’t qualified. Instead, look at it like that was suppose to happen to push them into their purpose to becoming a natural leader.

“Real leadership is about transforming limitations into possibilities.”

In life there will always be someone or something trying to stop you from learning your full potential. In order to learning you have to be willing to follow, and when you least expect you’ll notice how many were following your lead.

From experience, I’ve learned not to follow and choose not to lead. I just simply to allow myself to be.
