I have heard it said that if someone in a position of leadership spends their time telling people what to do then they are not a leader, they are a manager. Leaders inspire others to follow them. They create a safe space for people to grow and experiment, to try and fail and try again. True leaders give others permission to lead those around them; people who don’t follow instructions blindly, but instead take the boundaries and rules that exist in their organisation and create masterpieces of interconnectivity, human experiences and solutions to problems. A great leader creates a movement, because they are not focused on themselves, they are focused on the possibilities that they can awaken in others.
