How amazed I am on an ongoing basis how effective leadership can often not be measured, in action or "planning". Meaning, its quite interesting how sometimes leadership and influence happen when you least expect it.
A leader can plan for years, try forever, do everything under the sun to drive a vision and direction and see results. And then it hits. The momentum swings, people catch the vision, and badda bing badda boom... things start happening.
Now... I am not saying that lazy non-challant leaders ever experience this. Nor do I think it happens in isolation from all the hard work and previous planning over the past many months and years. I am saying that sometimes, however, when the leader steps back and simply 'bleeds' the vision through conversation, small actions, and other relational steps, that this is when movement occurs, people jump aboard, and the goal is met.
Would you agree?
