You are so right -...Thanks for stopping by, James. You are so right -- it is about getting in the game. Learning happens through so many different channels. But at some point, it must be applied in real life situations. <BR/><BR/>Football players don't become great by watching games on TV. If so, I'd be in the the pros! Greatness comes from practice, hard work, and years of game experience. <BR/><BR/>Thanks to you, James -- for being IN the game!

While I think Thought #1 can help improve existing leadership, I don't think that it creates leadership without actual application under #2. Too often I see those that are "arm-chair" leaders who have, like the analogy, never been in the "game." It is easy to second guess the real leaders when you watching from the side-line - without actual game pressure. However, leadership is often NOT about the theory of leadership, but the ability to do it IN game pressured situations. <BR/><BR/>I have also found that often those who have lead, became stronger followers - since it can be a pain to be the leader, who often has to deal with not win-win, but lose-lose situations. Getting in the game helps also with your prior concept - of followership!<BR/><BR/>As always, good post!<BR/>jtp.James T.

We've still got to get in the arena and start working those muscles -- start leading.
