Are You a Leader Or a LITO (Leader In Title Only)

“Simple can be harder than complex:

You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.

But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

Have you climbed the proverbial Organizational Ladder?

 

Did you do it following the organization’s culturally accepted norms… or; did you climb it being an intelligent, innovative leader who changed the way your organization thinks, works and hires?

 

Succumbing to organizational norms is the most likely path to what many call, “success”… but, selling your soul professionally, only looking out for yourself and not using 50%+ of your creative talents leads to many buckets of regrets over a lifetime.

Is it better to “crash and burn”, while trying to move mountains, than to be successful moving molehills?

 

Professionally and personally, I’ve done both. Sometimes it’s important to move molehills while preparing for the mountains. Each leader must make and live with their decisions. Neither approach is right or wrong; but, each choice produces positive and negative consequences.

 

When you embrace Mountain-Moving in your life, Windows of Amazing open. In case you’re wondering… yes; it’s highly probable that I’ve failed more often than anyone reading this blog while I was attempting to move mountains!

Why?

.

Moving mountains is hard, risk-oriented work.

The most difficult part; getting others onboard to help you move the mountains.

 

Many will:

  • See the mountain
  • Understand what it takes to move the mountain
  • Agree the mountain needs moved

 

Then; wait for someone else to help you move the mountain.

You, I and the world see Mountains that need moved that are associated with:

  • Equality for all
  • All Lives Matter
  • Medical services for all
  • Clean water and food for all
  • Educational opportunities for all
  • Etc., etc., etc.!
