Have
you ever thought, “I can’t wait until I get promoted so I can be in charge.” or “When I am the leader, I will do things differently”? Robin Sharma’s excellent
book, “The Leader Who Had No
Title” will help you understand why it is
imperative that each of us pursues a level of personal leadership regardless of
titles or position. This book captures what it means to lead yourself
exceptionally well.
As the story begins we
find Blake Davis, an Iraq war veteran, who had struggled for years to find his
place in this world, telling us his story of how he was able to turn his life
around just be adopting the “Lead Without a Title” philosophy. Blake
meets Tommy, a man that will change Blake’s life for ever. This is where you
will want to have a pad and pencil available to capture the truths that Tommy
shares for your own life.
As the story
progresses, Tommy takes Blake to meet
four other Lead Without Title leaders. Tommy also introduces
Blake to “The 10 Human Regrets” and “The 10 Human Victories”. Anna teaches
Blake about personal responsibility and that you need no title to be a leader.
Ty Boyd talks about how turbulent times build great leaders and how many people
resist the opportunity to show personal leadership because of the fear they
have about exceeding their abilities. Jackson Chan’s message is that the deeper
your relationships the stronger your leadership. Jet Brisley’s lesson is to be
a great leader you must first become a great person. They had their acronyms as
IMAGE, SPARK, HUMAN and SHINE
respectively.
The truth is that people follow people that
show strong personal leadership in their own life. The message of “The
Leader Who Had No Title” is to develop how we lead ourselves so that we
positively influence as many people as possible in our day to day life.
