Everything Rises and Falls with Leadership

I read an article today chronicling the fall of a leader that made some really poor choices. It was a reminder that as a business owner, you are always under the spotlight whether you choose to be or not.

"Everything rises and falls with leadership." - John Maxwell

Take actions based in truth and light, do the right thing, and admit when you've made a mistake. People look at business owners as mythical unicorns living in fields of clover framed by an overarching rainbow. You do something that blotches that image, and everything goes away in a snap.

Organizations, relationships, and families can all be impacted by our choices. If you think you can hide the things you're doing, at some point it will catch up to you. Just don't go down the path knowingly making bad decisions.

Be aware today that any decision you make has a consequence. Some will be favorable, and others can be destructive (BTW - this is both in business and life). This mistake made by this business owner will be difficult to recover from, if it at all, and the impacts will go far beyond the surface of the story which I read.

Everyone in this group, whether you like it or not, are seen as leaders in your particular industry. Be the leader. Know that "everything rises and falls with leadership". If you need help in this area, I coach leaders. Connect with me at 281-387-7689 to learn more.
