Why we are failing young leaders and what to do about it

We may have already turned our next Abraham Lincoln or Maya Angelou into a manager, and not a leader. That’s because for the last 60 years we’ve used the terms interchangeably, which has led to the biggest myth of our time; that being a manager automatically makes someone a leader. Which, for anyone who has ever had a bad boss, knows this couldn’t be further from the truth.

There are no prerequisites to being a leader. Functional duties or the power a person commands have no impact on the type of leader they are, or more importantly the one they can become.  No matter a person’s status, job title, or years of experience, anyone can become a leader once they understand what it means to truly follow someone else; and is exactly what we need to be teaching to our next generation of leaders.
