There’s a difference between managers and leaders. Leaders aren’t just administrators; they’re exemplars. They don’t just manage their employees; they inspire them. They don’t just do their jobs; they take care of their organization, their employees, and the customer. They mentor those who need help and those who have potential. They’re the kind of people we look up to.
Becoming a person like that doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot of hard work and humility to become the kind of person who’s trustworthy, respectable, and admirable. Speaking of humility, getting some tips from the pros doesn’t hurt, either.
