Consider This.

Step 1 of the Five Steps to a Good Decision is - Step Back.

It’s an Active Absence of Action.

It’s a Conscious Withdrawal.

For the majority of us who are not, and do not seek to be, ‘Leaders’, there are no Steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Stepping back - remaining lost in our own selfishness - is our default state, while someone else moves on to 2, 3, 4, and 5.

If what we see them do appeals - we follow.

Thus making them - A Leader.

So consider this.

Could it be that by merely naming our default state of Stepping Back as Step 1 of Five Steps - we can feel our unfinished business?

(The first job of a Leader is to define reality.)

And that feeling can draw us into Step 2, then 3, then 4, then 5?

Could it be that to ‘teach’ Leadership, we simply need to ‘teach’ that our default state is the first of Five Steps?

Thus ‘educating’ us - educare - ‘to draw forth’?

Until we seek to finish what we started?

And we are the ones who look around and see others following?

‘Leader’.
