Do you see yourself as a leader? – Now there is an interesting question from the daily writing prompt.
Yes, I see myself as a leader. I try to lead by example. For instance, the saying on the tee shirt I have says, “Those who say it can’t be done, shouldn’t interrupt the people doing it.” I noticed one of my friends (who’s the president of a large company) reading it and smiling.
I’ve been in lead positions professionally as a manager. Even a part owner at one time. I try to lead my family in the right direction.
Leadership is stressful. It’s taking responsibility beyond yourself. It’s a ton of work. You will never please everyone. If you’re a leader you better be able to communicate well.
Life is simpler now. The only leadership responsibilities I have now are leading grandchildren from one game to another, when we are watching them.
Then again, I might get active again and try to replace the leadership of this country.
