Facts about being the leader
• Command is granted; leadership is earned• People are put into positions of authority but it is up to the
individual to earn respect • When followers see the leader doing what is right for the
team they grant their trust
The managers who put the interests of their people first by finding ways to help them grow, develop, and take on more responsibilities cease to be mere managers; they are leaders of men and women who have earned their POSITION by giving their people a reason to believe.
