Anyone Following?

Once upon a time, I thought that I could make a difference in people's lives. I recall having read somewhere that its blessed and wonderful to leave imprints in people's hearts. And so I believed - I really did. Once. In the past. Now I'm not too sure.

James C Maxwell a renowned leadership guru said that leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less. I agree with him.

You are not a leader if you don't have followers.

Of course, the followers of the best leaders follow from the heart and not fear pursuant to a legally binding contract as in an employment contract where a decision to disobey a leader's direction or instruction is akin to insubordination, a gross misconduct in which summary dismissal is warranted.

So, is there anyone following me as I look over my own shoulder?

There is no one there ....
