Leading with Heart
Would You Invest $3.99 in Becoming a Better Leader?
John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, once defined leadership in these terms: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
If you’re not influencing someone, you’re not leading them.
[]That’s a great definition.You’ve probably heard that leadership is influence (thanks to John Maxwell). That’s true. Take Maxwell’s definition and through it in the blender with President Adam’s definition — and you have a really good definition of leadership.
Ask Yourself the Following Questions …
Do the people I lead dream bigger dreams than before? Do the people I lead show a desire to learn more than before? Do the people I lead do more on their own initiative, without my prompting? Do the people I lead become better leaders?
Teams that are dreaming more, learning more, doing more, and becoming more will accomplish more.
Here’s why many leaders will struggle with these questions: for them, leadership isn’t about those they lead — it’s about themselves. Production-oriented leaders may still have influence (and by definition still be a leader), but they may be failing to harness the power of inspiration.
John Adams’ definition of leadership applies across many landscapes. Parenting, coaching, pastoring, managing, and mentoring.

For over twenty-five years I have been privileged to serve in positions of leadership. It is a privilege. Whenever someone willingly follows your leadership, you have accepted a sacred responsibility – to lead well.
