Silent leaders

 

Being a leader doesn't mean you have to be in the forefront of things, nor does being inspiring by being in someone's face. Sometimes, the leaders are the quiet ones that continue to be there, in the background. I think it's important to do what feels right, and not what you perceive is right or expected.

I know where my passion lies, at least most of the time. And for the most part, I know what I am about. But is my way enough to reach everyone? Probably not, and so I try to see where others can compliment me. And when I say compliment I don't mean saying something nice. It's recognizing my weaknesses and using their strengths to counteract them.

Not only am I filling a void that I cannot fill yet, I get to learn too.
