Just because you have the title that puts you in a leadership position doesn’t mean people will follow you. Being a leader is a thankless job. Make it ALL about your team and it makes it easier for them to follow you.

It’s incredible how many people believe that people will automatically respect and listen to them once they obtain a particular title or level of leadership. People who operate from a traditional concept of position & title believe that a large amount of power is granted to them based on their title alone. Leaders who operate from a positional standpoint alone are often unable to look beyond the roles and responsibilities of the title to see how their performance, attitude, and general behavior affect others. As a leader, you can gain more influence by tapping into the “heart” of your team. We need fewer title-driven leaders and more influential leaders because, as a leader, you have the ability to impact a person’s character and behavior — a responsibility you should never take lightly. Inspire your team with our Amazon bestseller, “Unlock the Hidden Leader: Become The Leader You Were Destined To Be.” This book has already transformed countless leaders; now it’s your turn.
