Leaders have an agenda; they want to lead people somewhere. Else they’re not really leaders; just control freaks.

Some spend a lot of time trying to lead those who don’t want to be led. A fools errand.

Others do not want to go where you’re going.

Others want to… but are unable to.

Meetings are held, vision is cast and projects are announced… but real progress isn’t made.

It feels like banging your head against a brick wall.

Success starts with gathering those, and only those, who have the desire and ability to go where you’re going and the positive attitude required to stay on the journey.

You can spend your life frustrated or you can work on getting the right people in the room.
