Simple ways to become a leader....
...with or without the title.
Trent Hamm, over at The Simple Dollar blog, has some good ideas for how to start (or continue) becoming a linchpin....a leader.
I agree with most of his points except for his comment about dealing with negative talk about others: he says, " My tactic is to usually be quiet when people are being disparaged, but speak up quite a bit when the conversation is more positive".
I don't agree. For me, being quiet implies agreement with what's being said. Instead, I'd rather either say, "That's how you see this, but it's not the way that I do" and/or directly offer a counter-balancing viewpoint, preferably with concrete examples for support.
That said, everything else he had to say was pretty helpful. Check out the entire article here.
See you tomorrow.
