Leaders cannot be leaders without at least one person choosing to follow them. Followers are not beneath them; they stand beside them. They shape their leaders and contribute to who those leaders become.
The story of leaders has often been misunderstood as being about the power they hold. From the outside, it seems like a pleasant privilege to be a leader, making decisions and having people follow their lead.
From the outside, it sounds easy to be in a higher position and view things from a bird’s-eye view. Yet several leaders find themselves doubting and isolated by the experience. As leaders, tough decisions must be made with limited information, impacting a larger group of people in the long run. It is a great responsibility.
For some leaders, their authority doesn’t come from giving orders; it comes from their state of being “Quiet Authority.” Some of the greatest and most meaningful decisions are made by humble leaders who take responsibility for their people, despite how difficult it may be at the time. They don’t command, they serve. Most importantly, they “be” more in order to serve more. Self-development and awareness are vital for these leaders with Quiet Authority to continue growing, so they can create opportunities for others to grow.

As a leader, are you “doing” more or “being” more? In another view, are you being a true leader, just the way you are?
