Leadership is not about amassing followers; it is about cultivating new leaders. As Ralph Nader wisely stated, “The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” This perspective challenges traditional views and encourages a shift toward empowerment and mentorship. True leaders invest in the growth and development of others, fostering an environment where individuals can thrive and take on leadership roles themselves. By focusing on this transformative approach, we can create a more resilient and dynamic community able to tackle any challenge. Let’s prioritize the growth of future leaders in our organizations and society at large.
