Origin of leadership

Did you know the word "leadership" is believed to originate from the Old English laedere, meaning “the one who guides or brings forth”?

As leaders it can be easy to lean towards the guiding side of things but bringing forth matters just as much in modern leadership.

Creating an environment and culture in which your people’s strengths and talents will emerge and flourish will lead to better results than, well, one in which you just tell everyone what to do.

Which one have you been focusing on lately?

Until next week,

Take care of yourself and others
