Achievers vs. Leaders – Part 5
At the end of the day, having a “Leader Mindset” is a both / and proposition. Great leaders must be great achievers as well.
But not exclusively. This is where I think alot of leaders get tripped up. They forget that they are just as responsible for those they lead as they are for themselves.
Great leaders recognize that great achievement is watching others succeed around them.
Great leaders are secure enough in who they are to celebrate when others succeed beyond them. That’s the true test of our leadership isn’t it?
Great leaders understand that the highest achievement is being replaced by someone you helped train, develop and grow into a better leader then yourself.
Making the transition from Achievement to Leadership is a tough one. But it’s also a fulfilling one. Watching others succeed is a joy unlike any achievement I’ve ever known.
I guess it’s true that it’s better to Give then Receive!
Just a bloggish thought,

I remember reading somewhere that Great leaders first had to be great followers? Somehow I think their is something of truth in that… Its good (praise God)that this Government and Kingdom's dynamic is on His shoulders. It is good I think that we can stand together to edify and love one another and Know His leadership in our lives. Thanks Matt or showing yourself to be a great follower of Christ as well as a great leader for Christianty (and NLC too).
God continue to bless you and your family,
