Leadership

I spent a lot of time this week reading about leadership and what it means to be a good leader. One of the articles that I read took a really interesting look at leadership, examining the Savior and his leadership style which I thought was really insightful. From that article I took a lot of great nuggets of truth and some ideas of what I can do to be a more Christ-like and thus a more effective leader. 

The big piece that I want to record in this entrepreneurial journal is the importance of leading by serving next to those that work for you. When I think about the best leaders I know, they always take time to understand those following them. What better way to see what they see and feel what they feel than to roll up your sleeves and work right there beside them? I can't think of one.   

I had an exciting day in relation to my $100 challenge this week. I got connected with a small company in Washington that is having trouble with their email campaigns. The owner is friends with my parents and was referred to me by them. I spoke with him on the phone two days ago and he seems quite interested. It isn't a firm yes, but it’s the closest I've gotten so far!
