Leadership Is Going First

By John Muldoon

Leadership isn’t about personality or tactics or strategies.

Leadership isn’t a set of skills.

Leadership isn’t something you learn in a seminar. You can’t learn it in a book.

Leadership is much simpler than that.

If you want people to follow you, you need to put yourself in front of others.

Leadership just means going first.

How to be a leader at ________.

How do you put this into practice?

If you want to be a thought leader, share your thoughts.

If you want to be a business leader, start a business.

If you want to lead a movement of people embracing self experimentation, start a blog about self experimentation.

If you want to lead the resistance, put yourself on the front lines. At the front of the front lines. Charge into battle.

If you want to be a leader in the world of fitness, bust your ass. Let your actions talk.
