Keith Harrell, a dynamic motivational speaker who was a friend who I cared for and miss dearly, said that “attitude is everything”.  Our attitude about leadership development is important.  Our sense of its importance in our lives, our families and in those we serve as a leader is vital for us to reach our potential and have the optimal level of influence to make a significant difference by adding value to others.  So, what is our attitude about leadership?  Do we see it as a fad or something to do for a season or do we see it as a lifelong pursuit?  Do we see it as an option or a necessity?  Our attitude about the value of leadership will determine how persistent we are in its pursuit.
