Good people don’t necessarily make good leaders. However, good leaders are almost always good people. A good person who is not an effective leader means well, works hard, and has their heart in the right place. Yet they are scared of upsetting the apple cart and focus on checking boxes and managing paperwork. And they do it well. With precision.
Effective leaders take chances, keep the interests of their team in mind, and color a little bit outside the lines. These leaders are good people, because they are selfless, and put their people and the ’cause’ before themselves. What can be better than a good person making a meaningful difference in the lives of others?
