How to Lead with L.O.V.E.
You must learn to lead; in doing so you must surrender to FOLLOWING!
Listening
Being quiet doesn't mean you're listening! It means you're being quiet!
Observation
an act or instance of noticing or perceiving. It's foolish when we expect what we don't inspect.
Vision
Vision is something that we must be constantly reminded of. Oftentimes, there's so much going on it allows distracting opportunities to knock on our door.
Education & Encouragement
Learn as much as you can! Apply as much as you can! Give as much as you can!

The Breakdown:
“To go BEFORE or WITH to show the way; conduct or escort.” Does this sound like those who you call leaders? All this definition is clearly stating is that you must be involved! You can’t go BEFORE if you’re not involved, and you cannot be WITH if you’re not involved, and you can’t SHOW THE WAY or ESCORT if you are not involved.
Here’s a Simple Breakdown:
You must learn to lead; in doing so you must surrender to FOLLOWING! Uh oh! The part too many of us hate is putting in the work of following. You follow to learn and gain confidence, understanding, and purpose. I never said become a FOLLOWER! There’s a difference. That’s up to you! But as a professional, I would not recommend it for everyone.
