Leaders Eat Last - Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't
ISBN : 9780670923175
Leaders are the ones who run head first into the unknown. They rush towards the danger. They put their own interests aside to protect us or to pull us into the future. Leaders would sooner sacrifice what is theirs to save what is ours. And they would never sacrifice what is ours to save what is theirs. This is what it means to be a leader. It means they choose to go first into danger, head first toward the unknown. And when we feel sure they will keep us safe, we will march behind them and work tirelessly to see their visions come to life, and proudly call ourselves their followers. Are you a leader ?
