Others are watching. Yes, they really are.
Others watch you all the time. They watch your leadership. They evaluate. They judge. They steal. And, that’s all good.
In a way, it is also flattering. Realize that others watch you and they see how you lead, what questions you ask, how you handle challenges, when do you take action and how do you motivate.
Now, many don’t think much about these things out loud. Most see and hear. The log and store. Then, they do those things themselves. That’s the beauty of it….they mirror your leadership. You are passing it on….and you may not have even realized it.
But, now that you do. Realize that because they steal ideas or borrow your style, you have an even greater responsibility to lead and to do it well.
Otherwise, you’ll be passing on something other than leadership.
