Leadership

What is leadership? I think it’s a question NOLS deals with a lot. It is a question more places should ponder. It is a question more leaders should ponder.

I think leading is difficult. For some people it comes easily. You don’t even know you are being led. Others try for that effect and fail miserably. I don’t know if there is a formula. There are things you can do to try and adjust your style of leadership to what you think it is people want. But you are probably wrong.

Don’t play at being easy going if you aren’t. You might want to be, but if you aren’t, we all know. And you lose credibility because trying isn’t really working for you.
