Who was the best leader you ever had?

What made that person a great leader for you?

My guess is you if you are like most people, you did not name the smartest person you know or the person with the best corner office. You may respect those people, but my guess is you probably named a leader who inspired you or who touched you emotionally.

Their emotions and vision link up with you somehow that fueled efforts and accomplishments of which you are now proud. Their leadership and its impact are a direct result of influence.  

If you are a leader (truth we all are) then you know that the more influence you have the faster things get done and the higher the results are.

Are you ready to start to raise your leadership lid?
