Legacy Extension pt3

   "Legacy Leadership is a process of intentional influence that takes place in the context of a relationship."
     Dr. J. Lee Whittington

1. Leadership is a team effort
2. There is an intentional influence to bring change, growth. They count themselves (considered) among their followers, not above them.
3. Leaving a (your) legacy is a deliberate act, and has a ripple effect.

                                     Measuring leadership effectiveness reality check:
  It's not quarterly metrics as you may have assumed. It's the impact you have on each member and individual who follows. Building their capacity to grow. This comes only thru knowing each individual follower on a more intimate level. With this in the forefront, your quarterly metrics take care of themselves, and in a more momentous way.

   There is no double meaning in the words you say, things you want accomplished with NO hidden agendas on you as the leader. In other words, there is no selfish agenda on the leaders' part.

  Leaders exemplify authenticity, true humility towards their followers. This is what a follower follows...even to the end. It's the leaders' caring and sharing of self. So...BE REAL.

 If we have done our perfect job as leaders what then? Do not our followers show our credentials and/of recommendation to those who are not? Of course! They will be true to you and the cause.

  There are two ways leaders are seen as. We can lead as managers, or lead as honest-to-goodness leaders. It's easy to fall into the manager trap. SORRY! the fact is, managing people, paper, work, bills, etc isn't leading. Leadership is a growing, ever expanding venture between follower and leader.

           [ NOTICE: I put follower before leader, because leaders put their followers first.] 

The Leaderships Imperative: To make law that goes across the board without conflict of interest on all parts. The meaning is that the thing you put into law is able to transfer from one place of use to another without repercussions.

True leaders always lead from the front line, not from the back, the middle, or on some side-line.

 As we wrap up this mini-series I want you all to think about it. Your followers, co-workers, associates are your bread and butter as much as you are. We are all part of the team, and part of the overall big picture.

 This is the last blog of the year, you have been very much appreciated throughout this year, and we look forward to many more.
