Usually, felt my expertise, experience qualifies enough to lead others. All of us have unique skills, talents. Sometimes, we get carried away with our sense of power.
Today, realised others look up to me because of their trust, belief I could somehow guide them through openness, receptiveness of their own ideas in a compassionate manner.
Giving our attention to others goes a long way toward gaining their love, respect. Leadership is often misunderstood. Even if we feel totally confident of our abilities, we can only lead if we create an atmosphere of kindness, honesty, mutual admiration.
Truly listening is easiest, most important way to give people the space to explore, invent their ideas, creating an environment of mutual appreciation, expansion, value.
