There is a strange kudos about leadership. Most people at sometime or another feel or believe that they have to be a leader. Take the salesman who covets the sales manager role, the book keeper who wants to be the CFO, the CFO who wants to be the CEO, the CEO wants to be Chairman and the Chairman wants to be be next President.
There is a lot of negative energy spent on the eternal power struggle associated with such ambition, especially in the corridors of power inside corporations.
Not so for the Entrepreneur. By definition you are the leader because in your world no one else wants the job.
New market opportunity? - yes you lead the way, and if it looks as if it may even take off then we will follow.
In fact no one lives with the tension of leadership more than the Entrepreneur.
They are often up at night, with visions of bankruptcy and failing in a spectacularly public way dancing in their heads. The faith investors have put in them is a heavy weight most people will never experience. Entrepreneurs venture forth into the unknown, butterflies in the stomach, and wonder — for the sake of their reputation, their security, their children, and even their reputation in their children's eyes — if they might not have been smarter to have stuck with the bird they had in their hand.
As an Entrepreneur if you're regularly visited by apparitions of doom and are often overcome with the desire to quit and make your way to a safer, more peaceful haven, know that this just confirms that you're a leader. Situation normal. You're feeling exactly the way every entrepreneur who went before you has felt.
Entrepreneurs make some of the greatest leaders. Not because they are leaders of people but because they are leaders of thought and innovation, and daring and spirit.
A great leader is someone who creates a new market, a new and valued product, a new innovation. A great leader is not reserved exclusively for leaders of companies. Indeed may great leaders I know who are gifted with Entrepreneurial talent are rarely the leaders of their company as well.
As a thought and product leader if you're not creating the future, then someone else is, and that someone else will change the face of the world as you know it. But that's not the greatest danger. The greatest danger is arriving at the end of our lives and feeling like we haven't really lived. Risk is the currency of life. Without risk, there is no life. We have to be willing to risk failure in return for a sense that we are living. And it's when we're really living that we really have a shot at changing the world.
And that is the mark and the strength of a great leader.
