Inspiring others to find their voice ~ the leadership challenge

"In everyone's life, at some time,  our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."  Albert Schweitzer

According to Covey leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that come to see it in themselves.

Leading has always been about inspiring people to live up to their potential.  I can tell you a hundred stories of seeing something great in a team member...before they could see it themselves.  When I believed in them, and gave them more responsibilities and encouraged more stretch goals...they met the challenge!  It was almost like I set the motion for positive action and results! I always love to watch the "aha" moments of my team members as they stretch and grow their potential!  I have always found it very rewarding to see my team members become bigger and better and get promoted to higher positions.  I always felt I did my job as a leader!
