You Don't Need A Title to be a Leader

Mark Sanborn has written a book entitled You Don't Need A Title to Be a Leader.  Sanborn says leadership is shown through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.

Sanborn argues that leaders:

- act with purpose rather than getting bogged down by mindless activity
- Care about and listen to others

- Look for ways to encourage the contributions and development of others rather than focusing solely on personal achievements

- Create a legacy of accomplishment and contribution in everything they do

Sanborn states that influence and inspiration come from the person, not the position.  Are you a leader?  Who are the leaders in your community?
