The daily writing prompt wants to know – What makes a good leader? – A question I answered in a post from my own experience as a leader and being managed by other leaders called History Has Taught Me.

I liked reading that again. One of my better observations. It took me back to some days and situations that I tied to the word leadership. Being retired now I’m leading myself and maybe the family still.

But I’ve thought about getting more involved in some causes and maybe some of my background could be helpful.

I will add that what we have parading as leadership here in the states is a joke and should be removed before we have the second coming of the 1940s. And a message to the rest of the world. While it may not seem like it, many of us are working to change this direction.

Do you see yourself as a leader? – There is an interesting question from the daily writing prompt.

Yes and no. I try to lead by example. I have had leadership roles at times professionally. But I’m probably more comfortable with others leading.

Having a great team where everyone is contributing, succeeding, and growing is a tremendous experience and one I’ve had the opportunity of a few times. There are other times when leadership has been more difficult.

I’m a dad and granddad so those always come with leadership roles.

And now that I think about it I’m the lead photographer, editor, designer, sculptor, and writer in my retirement so yeah, I still see myself as a leader, at least in my little world.
