Donald Miller is a writer and speaker who is probably best known for his book, Blue Like Jazz.  Throughout his talk yesterday evening, he made it clear that he’s not really a leader, but at the same time, wanted to talk about leadership observations he’s made.  Here are a few things he said…

A great leader is a person who gets to know me in such a way that I want to take part in their vision.

A great leader consistently involves someone in the process of the journey.

A great leader speaks something into nothingness.

I think my favorite statement he made was, “If the leader you’re following isn’t following anyone else, find another leader to follow.”

Not my favorite session so far, but I definitely left with a few takeaways.
