Shot 286: TRAILBLAZERS

–Below is a leadership bullet from Tom’s rifle named Shot–

     HAVE YOU EVER BUSHWHACKED?  Not have you ever been bushwhacked?  That’s different.  To bushwhack is the first step to building a trail.  It’s not easy to blaze a trail through a wilderness.  Nope, it’s not for the faint hearted.
     Enter the leader.  Leaders are bushwhackers, if….  Wait.  What’s the “if”?  Picture a trailblazer whacking through brush.  The person turns around to see no one following.  Is this person a leader?  You see, leaders go into new territory, but they hardly lead if no one follows.  You might have a new path, and it may be a good one, but if others do not follow, no leadership.  Leaders have to address commitment.  As mentioned before, the quality of a decision is effective only if those who carry it out are committed to it.  Leading people is just as important as having great ideas.
