The Triangle
"Leaders need to know when to become followers and followers need to know when to become leaders."- Jim Collins business guru
While reading the latest issue of Inc. I noticed an article about Jim Collins and his teaching at West Point. While at West Point he noticed that leadership model that they follow can be thought of as a triangle. One point of the triangle is made up of Success, second point is Growth, and the last one Service.
A leader has to want Success. You have to believe that it is achievable. And you have to want to do your personal best to reach success.
While you are reaching for Success you will taste failure. Failure is inevitable. But learning from it is optional. However, it is learning from it that will lead to Growth.
The last piece is Service. Without wanting to pull people along on the journey towards success, the journey is not as fulfilling. Wanting success for them is just as important as wanting success for yourself.
Today's question is:
"Do you believe in the triangle leadership model?"
