What: ASDA has cared about me for the past four year. They provided me with the training to not only be a great leader but a great speaker. I was provided with the training needed to take me beyond being a great leader. I was provided with the skills to motivate others. Leadership is not just about motivating others to follow your lead towards positive social change. But rather, finding someone to do better than you.
So What: This Spring I was reviewing applications to take the role of Predental Consultant on the Council of Membership. I found the perfect candidate. Well-spoken. Already President of his predental organization. Yet, better than me. So, caring about the organization that has provided me with everything.... I appointed him. The best a leader can do is leaving an Association better off than it started.
Now What: In the present and future, leadership is less about me and more about 'we.' Did we do better than before? Did we leave the organization better than we found it? If all that can be answered "yes," then we succeeded. Because, it's not about the individual goal. It's about whether the group goal was accomplished.
