2 Minutes about Mindful Leadership: 

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope life is treating you well wherever you are! Let’s breathe and smile.

I’ve heard many times a statement from a leadership guru John Maxwell.
He said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership”.

When I heard it I realized what was the reason for some of my greatest mishaps. Even if I did not see myself in a leadership position, in fact I was. And I was not paying attention to what I was doing as a leader.

My friend, if you are even slightly interested in achieving greater success in your life, whether you are leading a Fortune 500 company, or you work as a laborer in a warehouse, this may apply to you. Why? Because achieving success requires working with people and helping them succeed.

And my point today is that leadership begins with me. I have to learn to control my own actions first. If I don’t, then I don’t have a right to lead other people. As a leader I have to be a travel guide, not a travel agent. I learned a hard and painful way that making people do things I haven’t done myself is in fact hypocritical. And that lost me some respect in the past.

As I learned from John Maxwell, If you think you’re leading, but nobody is following, you’re just taking a walk.

So, here’re 2 rules I’ve learned for myself:

1 – if I want to be successful, I have to learn to be a leader
2 – stop trying to be a leader. Work on improving myself and my leadership skills will appear when people start following me. But they have to call me a leader, not me. Does it makes sense?

Here’s a book I really recommend! Get it! You can get a FREE audio book!

“The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” by John Maxwell
