The only source of a leader's power is that other people choose to follow them. And the question has to arise, doesn't it? Why would they choose to follow you? Or why would they choose to follow me? Why would they choose to follow anyone? And the answer is really, is really simple. You will only choose to follow someone that A, you believe will take you to a better place and B, that knows you, cares about you, trusts you, wants to challenge you, and wants to see you at your best. If you see that that someone has the ability to take you to a better place, has a vision for where you can go and trust you, and cares about you and loves you. Scary word for the business world. People don't like to use the word love, but love is as important in business as it is at home. Maybe more, because it's not expected. In business. You got to love your people. Because when you love your people, they say, hey, wait, this guy loves me. This guy can take me to a better place and is going to take me to a better place. I'm going to follow this leader.
