Leadership Lessons Learned from Lecrae and TED

I'd like to say I am a man of few words, but those who know me at all know that isn't true of me at all! I like to talk, that's for sure, but I also like leadership! So here is a perfect opportunity for me to talk about leadership... kinda cool how that works, huh?

Again, those of you who know me, know that I am a pretty big fan of Lecrae and other Christian rap artists. Anyway, in his song Just Like You, Lecrae makes this statement: "All men were created to lead but we needed somebody to lead us." Of course, context goes a long way and in this case he is referring to how since we are created by Christ, we are saved by Christ, and called to be like Christ!

Another really cool quote for me about leadership is "Leadership is over-glorified." In case you are curious as to the source, Derek Sivers makes this quote in his TED talk. If you want to know more about the context of either of these quotes, I strongly recommend both!

All of that to say this, though. To me, the lessons I learn about leadership from these two quotes can be summarized this way: Good leadership is required and requires humility!
