All of my coaching clients want better results. They want to achieve something great, get promoted, building their businesses, and reach new levels of success. They have big dreams for the future, and they are losing patience to see them come true.

When I was a young boy, all of my heroes were Wild West cowboys. Movies depicted rugged, lonesome frontiersman. They rode into town reluctantly, but they would eventually load the massive responsibility squarely on their shoulders to save it. This is what I thought a hero was, a highly competent loner who saved the day on his own terms.

As a leader, you must be a delegator. Leadership does not mean being the person who does the most important jobs. That would make you a skilled worker, not a skilled leader. Leaders achieve results through other people, coordinating and motivating the work of others.

Sometimes is not what you do, but how you do it.

People love to complain about their leaders, be they politicians, business leaders, or sports team managers. It's easy for people to see the benefits of leadership and the troubles of being a follower. When surveyed, most people say that they wish they were big, important CEOs of successful companies. They see the benefits of such a position, but they don't see the downsides.
