A leader is best when people barely know he exists

Jon Rennie

 

This is one of my favorite leadership quotes. The idea that a team would be so intrinsically motivated to complete a goal they forget where the objective actually came from.  To build and motivate a team to this level is difficult. To me, this is the definition of true leadership.

What do you think?

Keep building the habit

Turn leadership insight into daily practice.

  1. Sir, I appreciated your article on submarine leadership lessons. I am an EMCS(SS) with almost twenty years in. I retire in a couple more and I am interested in pursuing a career in leadership coaching and team building. I am getting ready to start taking classes en route to a leadership degree. If you wouldn’t mind sharing, I would like to know how you transitioned into your new career. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Respectfully,
    Mike Mercer
