I’ve seen and heard a few quotes about leadership but something about this one by Colin Powell is so powerful.
I completely agree with you on a good leader willing to learn from others and applying that extra knowledge into being a better leader. Leadership doesn’t have to be focused on superiority as that could be where arrogance comes in.
I really admire your strategies on leadership as well, I’ll be sure to use this when necessary.
I’m glad you shared this amazing piece.
I'm not sure why, by so many equate leadership to superiority; I suppose because people allow their ego to get the better of them and that blossoms into hubris. Leadership is many things, a difficult role mostly as there's so many different elements and situations but the core elements of leadership are the same.
A leader in a military situation is different to a leader on a humanitarian mission for instance. There are different requirements, but the basic elements of leadership need to be present in both.
