Ron Edmondson: “If I Had to Pick One Leadership Principle … “

December 12, 2013 by Ron Edmondson Articles

I received this email recently:

Ron, a question for you. If you had to pass one and only one leadership principle to others leaders, what would that one principle be and why that one?

That’s a hard question, but I thought for a minute and came to a thought.

Here’s my reply:

It’s not about you.

Why?

Because, leadership is about something bigger than you.

If ever we begin to believe it’s about us, or our agenda, or our plan … or even more dangerous … our people … we will become controlling, prideful and eventually ineffective.

How would you answer?
