Make Yourself a Stronger Leader

Rather than praying for a brighter world become a better leader. You know—if you’ve followed my work for even just a little while—that I evangelize a concept called “lead without a title.”

Essentially, you can show leadership anywhere, anytime—in many ways.
 
Because leadership is simply the opposite of victimhood. [Read that twice please and then go sing it from a mountaintop, so you never forget it—and spread the message].
 
And we all sure do long for more real leaders and less complaining people, operating as victims. 

If these insights speak to you and you’re willing to do a little work on the ideas, tools, and habits I’ll happily teach you inside my new world-class digital training program, then I’d love to help you here.

Inspiration is unbelievably important when you go to work every day. You want to radiate that positive energy. You want to be that person, even if things are falling apart, or you lost the deal, or people are negative. You say, hey, gang, you know what? Adversity is nothing more than opportunity in Wolf's clothing. One of my favorite stories on leadership and being an inspiration, even in difficult times, comes from Steve Jobs. You know, when he was a young kid, his father said, Steve, go outside and paint the fence. in front of the house. Steve Jobs said to his father, no problem, he loved his dad very much. His dad was a craftsman. That's where he learned this love of detail. So a few hours later, his father comes outside and sort of inspects the fence. And he goes, well Steve, you know, you did a great job painting the outside of the fence, but you didn't paint the inside of the fence. And Steve Jobs looks up at his dad and he says, well dad, no one's gonna see the inside of the fence. And Steve Jobs' father looks at his son and says, but son, we
will. Well, now it's the mid-1980s, and Steve Jobs is sitting around with his design team and they're working on the first Apple Macintosh. And he looks at his team and he says, you know, I want this computer to be a work of art. Because, you know, he loved works of art. But he said the real deliverable gang is this. I want the inside of the computer to be so beautiful, it brings tears to people's eyes. And the people around him said, well, Steve, no one's going to see the inside of the
computer. And Steve Jobs looked at his design team and said, but we will. And when Steve Jobs saw the first Apple Macintosh, he started to cry. Because Steve Jobs was really not an entrepreneur. He was an artist. And he looked at his
design team and he said, I want you to sign the circuit board. And they said, why Steve? And he said, because all artists sign their work.
