In the military, it’s about rank,

It’s about the bars on the shoulders,
Not the contents of your heart,
Your head,
Your soul.

In a business, it’s about who you are,
Not what you call yourself or where you’ve been,

With royalty, you are born to it.

In business, it is awarded by a team of believers,
It is bestowed upon, it is earned by,
Your actions,
Your reputation,
Your vision,
and by the instillation of belief in your competence,

You may have led troops in battle,
You may have graduated from Harvard,
You may call yourself a CEO,

But if  you believe power emanates from your education
Your past experience,
Your title,
You’re fooling yourself and very few others,

Are you followed because you are the boss,
Or because you lead,
Don’t be surprised when the puppies that you call followers are led away by the next “leader” who offers more Kibbles & Bits,

People follow leaders with clear vision,
High-functioning teams follow he who instills confidence in their ability to execute,

People of character follow people of character,

So when you find yourself with a team of kick-ass ninja, ass clowns,
Ask yourself this:
What behavior am I modeling?
How did I get here?
Who am I being?
Why am I so afraid of people finding out I’m a fraud?
