Leadership Requires Truth

A title of leadership doesn’t make somebody a true leader.
Leadership is a action, not a title. Some receive the title of a leader but there is no leadership in terms of a verb.

Leaders usually rise from the ranks of the common. The inclination for top level leaders is to put people into leadership who don’t challenge them. When this is the case people don’t generally follow or trust these types of leaders.

The important thing is, leaders must speak truth. Towing company lines is not leadership. Leadership is speaking truth, providing direction and then examplifying the direction.

Leaders in title only often won’t speak truth for the expense of their title. But the title alone provides no benefit, both to the leader and the people they’re supposed to be leading.

The position of leadership must trump the title of leadership and there are times the two doesn’t coexist. A leader has to make unpopular decisions or sometimes say the unpopular or unfavorable thing.

A leader is known by their action and their honesty to speak truth under any circumstance.
