Richard OwensPublished 7 years ago in JournalWhat Great Leaders Do Differently
I have always asked myself what separates great leaders from those who aren't titled the same. When great leaders do things right, they inspire people working with them, but great leadership does not just come on a platter. A true leader is noteworthy and someone to be observed in action.
