The fifth and final key in our 5 Keys to Legendary Leadership is to “Practice Giving Leadership.”  Simply stated, great leadership is never about the leader.

WOW!  Think about this. How contrary is this statement to our current social environment and existence? We exist in a population obsessed with “selfies” (I have to admit I have never, no never, published a selfie. Honest to goodness, I have taken a few, yet immediately deleted. I look like a hostage. Enough said.) and portraying themselves through social media as perfect. So, if we exist in a world that is “all about me”, as a leader, how can great leadership NOT be about the leader?

Great leadership is truly about holding people up. It’s about allowing others to recognize and embrace their gifts with boldness and relentless pursuit to share and achieve greatness. Rather than looking in the mirror, great leaders hold the mirror up for others to see the best in themselves.

To reflect on this series, we’ve discussed legendary leadership from the following perspectives:

  • Hold the Vision
  • Build Your People
  • Stand for Something
  • Practice Giving Leadership

By far, to practice giving leadership is the difference in leadership and legendry leadership. Legendry leaders are not only influencers, they are the navigators, guides and mentors. Legendry leaders make a difference in the lives of those they touch by giving influence, power, knowledge and wisdom away and serve at the highest level possible.

Listen, learn, leverage, and practice giving leadership.

Be a resource, not a sales pitch.
