Baboon had been speaking at a conference for new business owners. When he was getting ready to leave for the evening a young entrepreneur came up to him with one simple question about his leadership. The entrepreneur was very timid to Baboon listened closely to his question. It was about what the best part of his role was. For a few moments Baboon thought about the simplicity of the question. Finally he replied honestly, “You are very shy to be a leader. You’re the reason I enjoy my role as the top rank. I get to tutor people like you, from shy to stern and strong to arrogant. I get people from all backgrounds and how I handle them is exactly what gives me a thrill as a leader.”
Lesson: This lesson is inspired by the Hearpreneur Post “What is the Best Part of Being a Leader?“
