Quotebook: Why Are You Developing Leaders?

I don’t know about you, but I’m always trying to find and develop more leaders. I heard Mac Lake say this today at Exponential West:

“When I ask why people want to develop more leaders, the most common answers are that they don’t have enough leaders or they need more leaders. Those are actually the wrong answers. The right answer is ‘because I see potential in the person in front of me.'”
