The World’s Greatest Leader (Taken from The Now is My Plaything)

That would be you. Yes, you. Maybe, not you right now but maybe you today. Yes, today, and yes, the greatest. And you'll know you are.

Being the greatest leader starts with you. The first person you lead is yourself. You set things straight that need to be straight. You spice things up when some flavor is in need.

You know the best time is Now. The second best time is right after that.
You start small. So small, only you notice. Small is valuable. Small adds up.
You decide what is important to you.
You decide why it is important to you.
You weigh it out moment by moment. First things first, last things last, and unnecessary things never.
And when you are wrong, you OWN it, every last bit of it.

That's it. Yes, the world's greatest leader. Before you leave home for work in the morning, before that dinner date, or before bedtime. Showing up, especially when only you are looking.

The greatest leaders teach us how to lead ourselves. They do it by example, and they do it on purpose. It is not always fun, but it is not always hard, and it is always worth it. But you know this, The World's Greatest Leader.
