Be willing to risk the wrath of the people you want to teach

Be willing to risk the wrath of the people you are trying to teach in order to reach them and many more people. You don't always need to conform to everyone elses ideas but you do need to be kind, humble and even affectionate for other people. Allow even the most socially ackward people to be a conduate for the messages you need to learn in order to grow as a person and a leader. Gold and rubies may be pretty and eye catching, but those styles do not get people to like you or follow you. Kindness and hospitality will.

What are you passionate? How are you growing and changing? Who do you want to be in 2010?

Be the change you want to see

Do you want to be a leader?

First be a good follower. Know what it's like to put the shoe on the other foot. A great boss understands what is possible, impossible and how quickly he or she can expand the proverbial box. This person probably also understands his employees unique talents and capabilities as a people watcher and as someone who put themselves in his/her employees shoes.

If you want your employees, parent, students or disciples to be good followers then lead by example. Monkey see monkey do. Be who you want them to be. A soldier doesn't need you to be their best friend, they need you to be their captain. That's why the military doesn't allow rank fraternization. Truth changes lives. Live your life with integrity and be the change you want to see, not neccessarily in the world but think smaller to start, start with YOUR community. Your community isn't neccessarily your state it is yourself, your, family, your friends, the people you talk to daily or monthly.

You have your own unique gifts. You don't need to be like everyone else and they don't need to be just like you. Why? Because if we all where public speakers, who would listen? If we all where engineers, who would do sales?

So when you are being the change you wish existed, be patient. We are all on different bell curves. The person who is not quick to catch on to social media may know everything about aviation, brain surgery or
sales. I bet they could teach you a thing or two. So be passionate, but humble. Be willing to take on the most inconvenient or unlikable job. Put others first. I bet your followers will respect you more for it. I'm not saying I'm the best boss, leader or follower but this is food for thought. Thoughts that inspire me and remind me daily of the person I hope to be for the sake of those around me.

What changes do you wish to see in society, your community, your social network, or industry? How do you feel about this post?
