I’m reading Seth Godin’s book “Tribes.”
It’s only 147 pages but it’s packed with many thought-provoking, inspiring and motivating passages on leadership. Like this one entitled: The Easiest Thing
“The easiest thing is to react. The second easiest thing is to respond. But the hardest thing is to initiate.”
“Reacting is intuitive and instinctive and usually dangerous. Managers react. Responding is a much better alternative.”
“Both pale in comparison to initiating. Initiating is really truly difficult, and that’s what leaders do. They see something others are ignoring and they jump on it. They cause the events that others have to react to. They make change.”
Wow. Inspiring and daunting at the same time. What do you think?
