Defining Leadership in Six Words

Yesterday I had the chance to speak with a group of aspiring leaders – high school freshmen from west central Indiana.  Early in my session I asked them to write a definition or description of leadership in exactly six words.  After they had done that individually, I split them into 3 teams to share their thoughts and create one six word description.  The video that follows gives their answers, and a small part of my followup commentary.

I think you will find their thoughts instructive for all of us, and while message was for them, it is really for all of us too.

This session was a part of a program of the HOBY organization – the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadershiporganization.  While I have heard of this organization and its good work for many years, this was my first direct experience with it.  If you are looking for a way to give back some of what you have learned as a leader, and love kids, I’d encourage you to see how you might be able to engage with HOBY.

Sign-up for the free weekly e-newsletter and, as a special gift, you’ll also receive a free copy of our inspiring e-book, 101 Ways to Unleash Your Potential, filled with short tips, graphically depicted, to inspire you to action..
