The position does not make you a leader. the title, the promotion, the fancy corner office do not make you a leader. no, it is relationships with people that are the foundation, the very heart of leadership. have you ever worked for someone you didn't like? it's difficult, isn't it? on the other hand, the leader you will follow anywhere and everywhere is one you know cares about you, and values you. this person has your best interests at heart. it is the leader who comes alongside to help you improve and grow.
